Astrology, Spirituality & Alternative Healing

I agree with much of what others have already said about each life having a particular purpose, and a soul does not depart until it is ready, even if that time to leave is a whole lot sooner than we would have liked.

The real problem for this woman is that her religion has told her she personally can control things in this life that she personally can NOT possibly control. In this case, her daughter's leukemia and death. Of course, to tell her to abandon her religion will not help her in the least.

I have not myself had a child die, so I know I have no real clue what it is like for her. But I think that those who have assured you that just listening to her is hugely valuable. She needs to express her anger and her grief, and your listening and not judging is probably exactly what she needs at this time. I do know that as time goes by grief does diminish. But it takes time. And as long as this woman lives she may well think of her daughter every single day, and every single day she will wish her daughter still alive, and she'll always know exactly how old she'd be now, and will wonder how her life would have unfolded.

So keep on doing what you're doing. Listen with compassion. Keep in mind what others have said about the things that don't help, and try not to do or say them. Just by being there you are giving her an enormous gift.
