Don't be mad at God. Be mad at the cowards charged with saving lives who did nothing out of fear of losing their jobs. Better yet, be mad at the enemy of this world, filling it with the lies that lead them astray. God does not change. We do. Our circumstances do.
I can tell you that despite the horror and pain, God is doing something amazing with it, but realistically, you may never know what that is. That makes it hard, but you can trust in faith. It is easy to trust God when things are well, but hard when things are not. That is why we were able to see Job's character only through what he endured.
I cannot relate to your experience, honestly. My heart breaks for you though. I CAN related to the "Peace that surpasses understanding," however. At the darkest times in my life, honest faith and prayer to God in spite of the situation resulted in a peace in my soul I could not explain. I learned this week that the author of the hymn "It is Well with My Soul" wrote it after his family died and his church burned to the ground.
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. -- Philippians 4:6-7
I am sorry for your loss. My spirit mourns with you, and I pray the Lord will give you the peace of God which surpasses all understanding, that you may say that it is well with your soul.
You will absolutely see him again. He’s near you now and will be throughout your life. You will also have the opportunity to raise him (minus any health conditions) after Christ comes again.
There is a great plan of happiness that we can all learn about. It sounds counterintuitive. How can there be happiness in such a tragic loss? The happinesses comes in the knowledge that Christ overcame death. You will be reunited with your son. You will raise him at the age he was when he passed through the veil. This is true!
I just lost my twin brother. He was in his mid-40s and died unexpectedly a couple days before this past Thanksgiving. He left a wife and three young children. It’s been absolutely devastating and heartbreaking. But the knowledge that I’ve found is the only source of peace as you mourn.
I’d love to share more.
God bless you and your family. Your son is very aware of your pain and is near you. The veil is thin, my friend. May you feel of his perfect love for you.
Much love!
Your pen name is because of your son? Seems he loved ramen. My favorite too.
Your son is in a perfect, painless, eternal body. “It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption. It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power. It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body.” I Cor. 15:42-44.
What kind of place is heaven? “He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order is passed away.” Rev. 21:4 May the Lord Jesus strengthen, lead and carry through this difficult time.

This right here. ☝🏻 Carry on what he started. I hope you can find peace through finding God. Praying for you and your family.
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. Psalm 147:3
