Why do bad things happen to good people?

I received the following email this morning from one of my favorite aunts, Maureen.

"With the heaviest of hearts I tell you that our new little grand baby, Shaun Christopher, passed away quietly just after 2am January 29th. Though we only had him not even 4 short months he will be missed indescribably. He was an amazing and precious little boy we were just getting to know so well. Rest in peace sweet baby."

This comes just a week after their dog, Gracie, also passed away. My heart is breaking for my aunt Maureen, my cousins, and the rest of the family. Sometimes I just don’t understand the way the world works.

Sarah. Do you know what happened with the baby? Why did he pass away? So sad. Take Care!

SIDS. He just stopped breathing. They tried to revive him but couldn't. It's just such a tragedy.

That is so heartbreaking. I'm so sorry to hear that. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

SIDS is the scariest thing EVER. i've been reading up on it, trying to figure out how to prevent it but they don't really know what causes it, it's one of my biggest fears! i'm so sorry for your family!
