We cannot ever take any thing for granted in life, this was a sad lesson.

This is a tough one. There are a few ways to look at this. The first is to be grateful that the bride had a father-in-law that lived long enough to see his son truly happy on the happiest day of his life. The next is to be assured that a new beginning is happening here, that the bride and groom are starting their new lives together and that her father in law is now in a better place. The man never suffered, wasnt sick for years, instead he was a vibrant, lively man enjoying his sons wedding. God is not mean, he is merciful. Yes it is sad that he died at the reception, but one of their last memories of him will be that "dad was dancing up a storm on the dancefloor" and that they were together. Try and not look at this as a tragic event, but as a twist of fate. One life has ended but two are just beginning. I hope this helps.

I think you handled yourself commendably, which is a token to those that raised you as well. That you ponder these questions means you have compassion, and conscious. These tools will help you make correct decisions, because at the end of the day, the only thing that will reflect on you, is what you did. Not what others think or others say. So, ask yourself this after these situations happen, "can I live with my actions?".

Blue gave an awesome answer. I could not have said it better myself. None of us are guarenteed a tomorrow so we need to just enjoy and appreciate the time we have with the ones we love. Definately a sad situation but I think if you said to your friend what blue said it may help them to feel maybe a little better.

we are man and as mortals we can not understand the doings of our heavenly father, everything happens for a reason. WE CAN NOT ever understand Gods doings, our God is a loving God...God works in mysterious ways....Never let you faith fall... God will always be there, the answers are in him if you believe and ask.

She was not cheated by anything. God does not strike people dead in order to cheat someone else out of something. People have heart attacks. People die. It happens.

These things aren't God's fault. They're our fault, even though we can't seem to figure out how or why sometimes. We aren't perfect, but God is. We (in general) tend to blame God for all the mishaps in our lives because we don't understand His divine nature. We need to know God.
