Those times would be the best years of your life... not fatalistic or unfortunate. What I'm trying to say is that it's not a loved one's death that's the ultimate, that we have to take into account.... but life's situations. There's so many situations in life where we reach a dead end. Why I am so strong on my point is that I have tested scripture passages... and have asked my self why, how .. is it true, etc. And one instance where I've tested it was on the passage "Give and it will come backed to you. Pressed down shaken together and running over, when you give to the Lord." and I've tried to give.... some of the little cash I had on me (I don't work and one person's salary isn't enough for a four member family)... and within 24 hrs.... somebody sent me more than double the amount for no reason...a gift. So I gave more money to the church and then about Aust$ 150.00 was sent to me by another relative as a gift, within a few days. Till then there had been no gift sent from this sourse by way of cash. I've found this a very useful way of getting through... ie. by testing the scriptures and knowing for myself that its true. And at times one just has to be patient knowing that all things work for good to those that love the Lord. It pays off with the immediate grace of peace and a blissful sleep despite the storms.
