Hello Goldminer,
I want to share with you the experience of a sister in the Lord whom I used to room with when we were strudents. I hope it will give you another angle on God's hand in your granddaughter having been right there when this happened.
My friend was six when her best school friend died, who was also six. Naturally, she was very troubled about this, for at least a few weeks, until one evening, when the moon was out, she went to see it in the garden. There, in the sky, she also saw two angels who were discussing with each other, how her friend had gone to be with God.
My friend was deeply comforted but didn't understand [i]why[/i] this had ever happened, until, ... she was living in Lockerbie when the American plane came down in pieces, and her own daughter's best friend was one of the few who died on the ground, also aged six - the same age as her own daughter all those years later. Finally, she had a reason, and understood the wisdom of God in preparing her to be able to comfort her own child.
I will be praying for you all.
