What happens next is not obvious

A colleague's life is suddenly ended as a result of contracting a killer disease, Friends back in the younger and formative years are taken away as they fall victims of an ongoing pandemic, Relatives crosses to another world as they figure in tragic accidents. What more may happen? All we can do is pray. All we can do is trust the Creator. His will may be the reason even as we hope that He has given us and will be giving us the best direction.
