People assume death is the worst thing that can happen to us, but God doesn't look at it that way. Death happens to everyone, so the only factor we get so upset about is the timing. Of course the timing of someone 'leaving too soon' compared to eternity is nothing, like 1 blink of an eye compared to 2 blinks. On earth people have freewill to commit good or evil and many chose evil, even deceived Christians. To someone following Christ there could be nothing better than to be in heaven with God, so death of the body isn't exactly a negative thing. There are many elderly I've met who are excited about the afterlife and they feel very blessed with their life they were privileged to have on earth, but know what comes next is so much better. God also doesn't give us all the answers to everything. We're not robots either. God made Adam and Eve to be immortal, but they sinned and ruined that. So, the world is cursed because of that and people have afflictions like disease, disasters, etc. But in the case of someone exercising freewill to oppress others (commit evil like murder), God will of course will judge to punish injustices, reward victims, and make it fair in the end. That is my personal opinion.

Love brings us into the world. Love takes us to heaven. Write this on a slip of paper to put in their Bible.
Psalms 116:15
Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.
These are comments from others who came in here grieving the death of someone they loved:
Tony pinkney on Psalms 116:15 7 yrs agoThis verse is very soothing to my spirit on september 5th 2004. My mother were ushered into. Heaven to recieve her reward. On today september 5th 2013 im still rejoicing in my spirit because I know that she were saved sanctified and filled with. The precious gift of the holyghost.so all I can say thanks be to. God which has given her the victory.God bless you and may he keep you. Timothy Wayne George on Psalms 116:15 8 yrs ago Precious in the sight of Jehovah, is the death of His saints. When the Lord called my father home to glory, from labor to reward, I thought of this verse. My father had been a Pastor for 27yrs, and a minister for 62yrs. He had been preparing us that the Lord was about to call him home. He told me it is appointed unto us to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and also to suffer for Him. As Paul said I have fought a good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the Faith. What a testimony to give when facing death. God makes all things beautiful in His time. When we all get to heaven what a day of rejoicing that will be; when we all see Jesus we will sing, and shout the victory!!
JT on Psalms 116:15 8 yrs ago I think this verse means that God is pleased when a Holy Spirit filled believer departs from this earthly life and steps into His Presence.
Mishael: my father was drowning on aspirated food (Alzheimers). An Angel came in the room and said, I'm here to take your Dad. Leave the room. I was gone 3 mins. My Dads face was beautiful with peace and light. That horror was gone. I knew he was with his Lord.
We will see our loved ones again. Have faith. Be strong.
