You are forgiven, but I do hope you "think" about it before you say that to someone else. I think sometimes (we are all guilty of it) we say things without being compassionate. There is more than one way to say what we believe is the truth.
I grew up in the church, and from day one of the wreck that is all I have heard. How this happened to me for some magnificent wonderful display of God, without any consideration to what I might actually be going through.
Sometimes I just need to deal with the human emotions of it, beyond the "purpose".
I hope you can understand that.

I am sorry I ordinary do not say those things to people on AFF- I am a pastors wife and deal with a large group of people coming out of recovery. So I am pretty honest with them for the most part but I can see that your situation is different than theirs, I guess I was in recovery mode.-it works with them believe it or not.
I will pray that you find some 'safe' people to talk too- a counselor. It was a very traumatic event.
Does seem like a weird thing to tell someone that God has a marvelous plan out of everything, but I think people just do not know what to say many times and end up saying the wrong thing trying to say the right thing.
