She has it a lot better than Job did. Lost his family, his wife, his friends, etc. Then he challenged God. God's response was not to give in to Job's demands to futile, immature questions (immature on a heavenly scale) but to say "Where were you when I said to the waves of the sea-- so far and no farther?". If Job could not understand the physical properties of God's ways, how could he understand the infinitely complex debates between Archangels, Cherubs, Demons and Sephirim?

"As far as the earth is above the earth, so are my ways above your ways, saith the Lord".

"Gird your loins and stand before me like a man." is the way the old King James says it I believe. And if you think about it Job did pretty good for himself. When you consider that God basically made a bet with the devil that Job wouldn't curse his name if He let the devil mess with him for a while. God let it happen and Job hung in there. He only wanted to know why. I'll say a prayer for this poor woman that the peace that surpasses all understanding can return to her.
