Losing Someone Close to You

I've been thinking about death alot lately. I know this sounds morbid, but people around me have been dying. It gets you to think about life and death and thinking about the people and pets you have lost that are dear to you.

I don't think you ever truly get over losing someone dear to you, it's just that thoughts of that person don't automatically come to mind as frequently. But if you think about them long enough, you can still remember what if felt like to lose them, like it just happened yesterday.

I have a lot of questions to ask God or to ask about God after losing a relatives, friends, and beloved pets.

If God is omnicient, why did he create us, knowing that we would sin and separate ourselves from him?
Are we pre-destined to be God's children or does our eternal salvation hang in the balance?
Does God give up on people?
Is God alone up there in the cosmos or are there more beings like him in other parts of the universe? Who created God?
What does God do for fun?
Because there are so many of us sinning around the world, constantly, does God ever not feel sad because of our sins?
What redeeming value can there be in maintaining a relationship with sinful humanity?
Is it OK to be afraid to die?
Why do bad things have to happen in order for God to be glorified?
Why are humans obsessed with by their sense of fairness?
Why do we have to die? How did God decide when we would all die?
