Yet our lives and deaths are simply a part of that beautiful symphony called 
nature.
If we weild increasing power over "her" we are simply wielding increasing  
power over our own actions, not some being that has lack of emotion over us 
separate and indifferent. 
Sadness and anger are natural emotions in an occurance such as a loved one's 
death. A word of caution however: What we cannot control, we must not deride 
as cruel intention. To imagine we can gain control over everything and 
everyone may only serve to cause us great pain.
