You indeed have suffered GREAT loss, and anger is certainly a very normal part of our grieving process. It is also common for people to be angry at God.

Why do people get angry at God?

Usually because they have been taught by their religions that this is all Gods plan.

Pastors, priests, and religious teachers often say that it is God’s will that people suffer. Some may say that everything that happens to a person, including tragedies, has already been decided by God and that we can never understand why. Others may even say that people, including little children, die so that they can be with God in heaven

Many people blame God for all the suffering in the world because they think that God rules the world

The problem is that NONE OF THAT IS TRUE. That is NOT what the Bible teaches about God.

The Bible says: “It is unthinkable for the true God to act wickedly, for the Almighty to do wrong!”—Job 34:10.

But the real ruler of the world is Satan the Devil.

The Bible tells us that “the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one.” (1 John 5:19) The ruler of this world, Satan, is vicious and cruel. He is “misleading the entire inhabited earth.” (Revelation 12:9) Many people imitate him. And that’s just one reason why the world is so full of lies, hatred, and cruelty.

I guess my point is that our anger is better served in being angry at the wicked ruler of this world ... Satan.

God will one day soon end Satans rulership and the suffering will end. God also will reunite us with our loved ones. Indeed, God is NOT the problem, he is the solution!!!

I am angry with God. I love Him, but I am so upset with Him. I can't  go to church until I feel differently.

I strongly recommend reading when someone you love dies it really gives you hope and helps you cope with the feelings accompanied with the loss of a loved one, also good for reading is tragedy- loss of a loved one

Ashlie, do not worry about what Gods plan is for you or anyone else right now.  That plan is in His hands and will be what it will be without your thought of it right now.  As far as being angry, God understands this so find a safe place and let him know your anger and frustration, He will take it in and then you will be in a better place to receive His peace. It is OK to be angry with God, He knows this...for now, try and focus on this day.  Leave yesterday alone, it is behind you and you are not going there.  Let tomorrow be what it will be, it is not here yet and focus on what God can do for you today, today alone...bless you.

God spent all summer building my faith and putting me into situations where I would be doing His work. If my faith would have been the same as before the summer, when we lost my dad, I would have completely turned away from God. I'm trying so hard to hold on to my faith but I am so angry and hurt that I just don't know how to deal with it all. Here we are 6 months post losing dad and I still can't pray without wanting to cuss and scream at God. I know it was His plan but that's honestly the last thing a 21 year old wants to hear after burying her father.

I lost faith in God.my mom was brutally assaulted in her room,for the next 40 days we kept praying ,begging to GOD.

"God is testing your faith",I was told.And then she just died.....

God was not there when she needed them the most.

Can the Dead Really Live Again? Would you say . . . yes? no? maybe?

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS
“There is going to be a resurrection.”​—Acts 24:15

WHAT THAT CAN MEAN FOR YOU

Comfort when loved ones die.​—2 Corinthians 1:3, 4.
Freedom from a morbid fear of death.​—Hebrews 2:15.
A real hope of being reunited with your dead loved ones.​—John 5:28, 29.

CAN WE REALLY BELIEVE WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS? Yes, for at least three reasons:

God is the Creator of life. The Bible calls God “the source of life.” (Psalm 36:9; Acts 17:24, 25) The One who gave life to all living creatures is certainly capable of restoring life to someone who has died.

God has resurrected humans in the past. The Bible reports eight instances of humans​—young, old, male, and female—​who were brought back to life on earth. Some had been dead for a short while, but one had been in a tomb for four days!​—John 11:39-44.

God is eager to do it again. God hates death; he views it as an enemy. (1 Corinthians 15:26) He has a longing to conquer that enemy, to undo death by means of the resurrection. He yearns to bring back those who are in his memory and to see them live on earth again.​—Job 14:14, 15.

TO THINK ABOUT Why do we grow old and die?

The Bible answers that question at GENESIS 3:17-19 and ROMANS 5:12.

I had no faith until he disd...One Year Ago Today. I felt the need to re-connect with God, and found a Unity Church that makes me feel much better about my own future. I've made new friends. I have new activities. But I still miss my beloved husband of 27 years....it still feels like just yesterday. But now I know where God is, and I can talk, cry and pray to Him. He knows I'm in pain, and has blessed me in many new ways.
