I have had lots of folks say that to me. Things like, "It was your husband's time, it was God's will." I don't believe God wanted us to die a physical death. I don't think God even wanted death to be a part of our lives. When God created the garden of Eden it was perfect. He gave Adam "free will". The same was given to Eve. Sin is the willfull disobedience of God. He told them to care for the garden. Everything there was for them except the "fruit" from the "tree of life". When the decision (free will) was made to disobey God and take from the tree then death, sorrow, pain, toil, and every other hardship came to mankind. Worst of all, because of that sin, we were separated from the presence of God. That is what is referred to as the original sin and those of us from that point on were born unto sin. Then by the wonderful grace of Jesus Christ and His love for us we have a way back to God. Through Jesus we can have eternal life, but until He returns again we all die a physical death. Paul in Romans speaks of this:

Romans 5:12-21 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification. For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

I do not for one second believe my husband died because of "God's will", but rather because of "sin" that came into the world by man. I thank God for His Son that through His death on the cross and His resurrection we can be forgiven and have eternal life with Him if we sincerely ask forgiveness and believe in Him. Our physical bodies will die, but our souls are eternal. We have "free will" to choose whom we serve and where we will spend eternity. The wonderful grace of Jesus can reign in your life if only you ask.
