I think this applies in all situations where someone or something was spared while others weren't -- When ascribing good luck or fortune and then attributing it to God's intervention, what does it tell others who instead have a run of poor luck, or experience a devastating loss.. are they less worthy? I think not. As a bereaved parent I encounter this a lot, and it really rankles me.. like what the heck.. My boys weren't good enough? They didn't pray hard enough?

You're exactly right. I'm so sorry about your boys. I have no doubt they were wonderful and exactly as they were meant to be, and I know you'll see them again. 💜
