A sad story I would like to share: I had a very close friend (no ex-girlfriend) whom lost her grandma all of a sudden. She prayed and prayed and begged for God to bring her back and that she wasn't prepared to lose her so soon. Of course, this prayer was not answered and her grandma was not raised from the dead so... she gave up on her faith. I've since lost contact with this old friend, but I think she wasn't fair in her decision making on the matter or in what she was praying for.
