I am sorry for your loss. Grief is so hard, so overwhelming. It is because death is unnatural. We weren't meant to die and we weren't meant to lose our loved ones. It's a tearing of the soul that only God has a solution to. And we underestimate His grace, we can not comprehend the greatness of His grace. Trust in that grace for Sam. Trust in that grace as you grieve. Praying for you, be kind to yourself.
Sin brought death into the world. There was no death prior. People, animals, or otherwise.
"Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:" -Romans 5:12
The pre-flood environment and atmosphere (air pressure, oxygen, etc) was far different than what we have now, which is when man's age went from 900 years to 120 and finally to where it's at now. Fun fact: reptiles never stop growing. Imagine how big lizards get if they lived 900 years. Oh, that's right, we have actual skeletons, not to mention drawings and carvings from various cultures showing dinosaurs always lived with man. But they try to brainwash us when we're younger than five, as it seems all dinosaur stories start out with: "Millions of years ago." Satan has a counterfeit message to everything.
God didn't intend for us to go through what we do and gave us freewill to choose Him or falling to temptation. Others can answer your question better than I can, I'm sure. :)

Beautifully said! Thank you
Amen!
We weren’t meant to die? What do you mean?
It wasn't God's plan, then the original sin (disobedience) brought it all down on to mankind.
Original sin made our bodies age and eventually die? Honest question
