I pray that God would grant Cile's family knowledge of where she is. If it is His will to allow her body to remain as the body of Moses, I pray that He would grant them comfort and closure in some other way.
Around 9 months ago, close to my neck of the woods (and within a few miles of one of the churches in our camp association), a five-year-old boy with autism tragically passed away. Soon afterward, his father had a heart attack (or something like it), probably related to his emotional turmoil over what happened, but after being resuscitated he posted the following on social media:
My testimony is that I crossed over and saw my son and Jesus Christ on the other side. I wasn't judged I only felt love and compassion. I couldn't stay. I was told "you got to go back". As I handed my son to Jesus I popped back in my body. Everything is going to be OK. Our savior is real and I met him face to face. This is the single most profound experience I've had in my existence.
If you Google this and find his Threads profile, you'll see that he posted two pages he'd written out by hand describing his experience in greater detail. I've heard some other stories--not always related to a medical emergency such as a heart attack, some just dreams and visions--where people were comforted by seeing their loved ones in heaven, and I pray that if such a vision would bring comfort to Cile's, I ask that God would provide it (preferably without a heart attack!) so that they can rest easier knowing that even if the body is concealed, they know where the actual person is and that she's happy.
By the way, the line where he said "Everything is going to be OK" lines up very closely with the words of an acquaintance of mine who had a similar experience: He described a feeling of peace that "felt like everything is OK." Not to downplay what they went through in their last moments earthside, but for the girls who drowned in the flood, going straight from drowning to having that indescribable "everything's perfectly OK" feeling in an instant must've felt absolutely AMAZING once it happened. I imagine that that moment must be one of their fondest memories now, maybe even something they'll still be eager to tell their surviving friends and family about when they get there.
In the words of a contemporary hymn from 2014, "We will cross that great horizon, clouds behind and life secured, and the calm will be the better for the storms that we've endured." May that be true not only for the girls, but also for their loved ones who now weather the storms of grief.
