Tell me about it. A long line of Calvinists.
Even if we were to follow eastern philosophy, it says "in every problem there is a gift."

"His ways are above our ways... He has an appointed time for every man to die... Who are we to question the acts of God?"
If anything, Calvinism would teach that this was his fore-ordained time to meet the Lord.
