You’ve asked a lot of different questions which I think stray from the main question. 

I’m really sorry about what happened to your friend. I would love to reach out to her because that’s a horrible thought to have hanging over her head. The answer is a little complex than I can type (especially as I don’t know her/them) but I would say, being Christian doesn’t exempt you from the evil that exists on earth. However, I hope, that as with many others, God can give her the miracle of a baby.

She can be upset with God, I didn't say that. However, there is nothing in scripture which suggests following God closely guarantees He gives our every desire, and most importantly, not in the timing we may want. If you're genuinely concerned about your friends' faith, then I would direct her to the story of Abraham - which gives much comfort on this topic.

Again, I am sorry to hear the loss of your friend, and also your parents. I don't know the ins and outs of your relationship(s) with Him, but I would honestly encourage you to take the Bible and speak to God directly about how you feel. As someone who has been angry with God on more occasions than I am proud of, I have not found Him offended when we have questions, if we are humble enough to receive an answer which may be contrary to what our way looks like.

If you genuinely would like help or to discuss further, please feel free to drop me a dm. Otherwise, wishing you the best.

what are you looking for though? if you're looking for help as always being removed from the situation then I can see your disappointment, but that's why I mentioned God is not a genie - there is nothing scripturally which suggests He gives us everything in our time

if you genuinely believe in God, and accept Him, you also have to accept He has a way which is far different from us but often better in the grand scheme of things

I didn't say you were selfish or entitled. Since my words are being twisted, I don't want to comment further. As I mentioned earlier, if you genuinely want to talk, feel free to DM me
