's plan sucks! That's what the bible thumpers said to me when my niece was killed in a tornado. Her mother put her in the bathtub and lay on top of her. As that louder than a freight train deafening roar of death and destruction got closer and louder they prayed to Jesus n His Father-self thing for all they were worth. Flying glass,nails dishes,metal,plastic......debris is what kills most people in a Tornado. It is not quick or painless. It is a nightmare. "Jesus has a plan for Kristen"They said. has a plan for everyone and everything happens according to 's plan". That's what they told me. I told them to tell their to $$ck off! &&;k him his plan and the sway back mule they rode in on. If the sumbitch wasn't a figment of your imagination I'd blow his head off of his damn shoulders. Don't spit that gibberish at me again. They haven't. I don't miss them. Pretty sure the feeling is mutual.

Ps. I live in Alabama still.

I'm so sorry that you lost your mother - especially in that way!

I think people feel such a need to offer some comfort after a loss that they say things that they don't really think through.
