Untempered Joy?

SS is a dear friend of mine, full of joy and energy. Full of life.
Her Dad passed away yesterday. Heart attack. I don't know any details, but apparently out of the blue.
I hate that.
James 1:2
Dear brothers and sisters, whenever trouble comes your way, let it be an opportunity for joy. For when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow.

I'm sure that doesn't make sense to SS right now, but it's my prayer that it will.
My heart and prayers are with you, SS. We love you very much.
It's through suffering, trial, and hardships that we grow. Be excited, SS that you might grow, but be excited to see God redeem this tragedy.
May ye and He be near.
Much Love
