It's a fallen world, therefore God spreads the tragedy around evenly so non-believers don't see a pattern of Christians being unnaturally blessed with health, wealth, and happiness while they are all dying young, poor and miserable. If they did they'd accept Jesus with the greatest of reluctance and evil intentions and God does not desire people to come to Him in this state. A fetus is spontaneously aborted, an innocent child dies a horrible cancer death, this Christian teen is maimed in an auto accident and paralyzed for life, that non-believer hits the lottery jackpot, several Christians are among the dead in a jet crash, three drug dealers are maimed by drug lords and on and on. There's no pattern to the victories and losses, the tragedies and the comedies. It looks random but it's not. God has a master plan, and Christians cannot figure it out but they trust it is there, while non-believers can see no concrete evidence that there is a God because their eyes have been shut through of the hardness of their hearts. In God's time and in His own unique way their eyes will be opened and they will come to a saving knowledge of the truth, or in God's infinite wisdom He will allow them to die in their sin. Either way His purpose is accomplished.
Sorry to hear the upsetting news. When lively and youthful people pass on it can be very sad. Sad in the company of sharring, that will not be, in this life.
Hoping you feel a little better, in time.
Why do these sad things happen? (She was a professional woman and was really on top of things, asked questions, etc).
While it is sad that she passed away, she obviously fulfilled everything she was meant to fulfill. Possibly her greatest achievement was in bringing a new life for God into this world.
Rejoice in what she accomplished in bringing this new life into existence. She died so her baby would be born. This is so much like Christ. He died that we would live.

Thank you for this. Makes sense to me. I'm still sad though. Funeral is tomorrow morning.
If not mistaken, I believe it was more common that women did die from complications from childbirth prior to modern times. In fact, though I was too young to realize, my mother almost bleed to death before her hysterectomy.
Sadly this is what the effects of sin does.
Sin did not kill her complications during birth caused her death.....
Things happen & no one knows why...you have to believe that God has a purpose and it was her time...this is when faith comes in...but these words don't make you feel better-hopefully God will comfort the family and everyone who is in mourning....I'm sorry for your loss.....
You make it sound like God "killed" her for his purposes.
I know that it's appointed once for a person to die, though. I just hate thinking that God is so cruel to snatch lives away.
I understand him letting others die who are in pain, though (getting them out of their misery).
(I should capitalize the pronoun, but my heart isn't into it. Need lots of spiritual healing).
The only thought and verse came to my mind was "The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away. Blessed be the name of the LORD" Job 1:21.
My heart goes out to her family.
My Father lost his Mother hours after his birth.... it affected him throughout his life deeply that he never even had a chance to know her and he always felt responsible for her death. He named me after her.
