I know how you feel man......... I've had so many of my friends dying, I kinda shut off my emotions. The last friend that died (R.I.P. Michael) I laughed.... I just couldn't believe it. I just recently allowed myself to feel again. It sucks right now, but if you let these emotions take control of you, you might never come back. My prayers go with all...........God bless man.........God bless.........

I'm so sorry to hear, but what Peonix Down originally said is as accurate and as good as it comes. God really has a plan for everything, even when it's as hard to see as this. If nothing else, these events will show you to enjoy life for what it is... Don't take ANYTHING for granted. Always remember, there is a light at the end of every tunnel.
My prayers will be with you and your family.

What phoenix said is pretty correct, allthough God is soverign and nothing can or does happen without Him allowing it. As to why He allows things, that I can't say. I do know that it is free will that allows for a lot of it.
Remember that God didn't take them, a medical condition took them.
Hrmmm what to say?
Other then you're a fool and your advice is meaningless and you wouldn't actually give it if you thought this way, truly (and I'm sure you're so sure that there is no God and that you know so very much and are so very well educated that I shouldn't have to point out why this is true.)

There is one good thing that can come from this, however. You can realize that there is no God, and realize that life is terminal in nature; everything alive must suffer at one point or another, and everything good comes to an end. So how is that a good thing, you ask? It will open your eyes to the weakening nature of attachments, and you will be stronger when you recover from the depression that will set in. You will be more at peace with yourself when you realize this.

Yup, very true.
Everything has a positive. You can dwell on the negatives or make yourself a better person. You can't see this right now though but if you pull through then things will be better. Have faith in God or have faith in yourself, just keep going and dont let it get you down or let it mess with your mind.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss but yuo need to remember something.
Never live life in fear of death, live life in spite of it.
don't go around being sheltered because something might cause you or someone close to die, go out and enjoy every second and every moment you can being around the people you care for and love.

Although the loss of a close friend is sad, and you do not understand why they were taken from your life, look at it this way, her unborn child will not be alone, and although you lost them, they may be in a better place/situation than if they had remained here. All things have a purpose, her purpose was to be with her unborn child, wherever that may be, although it saddens you now...be glad that her pain is over.
I am sorry for your loss
