Brette, I often have those same questions. I don't understand why God would take my mom while I was pregnant. She never got to see or hold my son. I wonder if I'm being punished for something. I still have so many questions but fear I will never get them answered. People ask if I have asked God my questions. The answer is no because I'm not confident that he will answer. I'm not good at reading signs. I want to hear clearly.

Now the holiday season has begun and I'm supposed to go through it without my mom. How are we selected...that is the question.

Brette,

I am so sorry for all that you have been through. But let me reassure you on one thing. God has nothing to do with death. Death is NOT part of God's purpose. Religion teaches us that, but that is not what the Bible really says. In fact, the Bible teaches us that we can rely on God during these difficult times, and find HOPE for the future.

HOPE brings comfort. HOPE brings purpose. HOPE gives us something to live for.

It doesn't take the pain away, but it does help us get through each day.

Knowing that God is part of the solution instead of part of the problem can be very comforting.

Brette, I hardly ever come to this site much anymore, but I couldn't help responding when I saw your post.  It was so heartbreaking because you have experienced so much loss for someone so young, but God always has good plans for us, especially for those who have suffered so much.  You're such a beautiful girl and I believe our experiences shape us in life and the stronger we are the better.  I predict one day you'll be blessed and surrounded by a beautiful family of your very own.  That can't replace your mom or your dads, but now you have 3 guardian angels looking out for you.  Please just keep your heart open and good things will happen.  Try not to be scared because you'll mom will always be alive and right there with you in your heart and in heaven looking out for you.  Much love to you!
