She would have benefited, specially by uniting her suffering to the Will of God.

And how exactly does one do that?

Did not Mohammed Atta unite his death with the will of God?

Are you now comparing Christians with Islamofascists?

What Atta did was not the Will of God, I think anyone who has any common sense can see that.

We all have worries and concerns about ourselves and other people. When there is suffering, especially a family member's suffering, we want a resolution immediately, and sometimes we can only see one course of acceptable action, "take the pain away." We pray and pray for a happy outcome. But we can't possibly see that persons suffering the way God sees it; we can't possibly know why things happen the way they do. We have to accept the fact that not everything we ask for is for our own good, and that the only reason God might say "no" to saving this loved one from suffering is to unite this person closer to Him. It just takes a lot of Faith, Hope and Love.
