Death

Yesterday my neighbour lost his children to death, one even before he was born and the other soon after she was born. His wife had a previous abortion too. This time she was carrying twins and yesterday (she was in her sixth month of pregnancy) she went into labour in the morning. The male child was stillborn and the female child was only 600 grams and as expected it passed away in the evening.
What to make of such incidents. Is God so cruel? Is there no God? Why does it happen? How does one go and console such people?
More than the loss the problem the couple are going to face is the society. Each one giving out his/her advice on how this could have been prevented.
God rest the two souls in peace and God grant the would have been mother and father and the rest of their family strength to bear this loss.
