At the risk of being insensitive, "finding God" because of a recent death is a cop out. People tend to reflect on their mortality when they're in close contact with a death, so they try to justify it. When bad people die they use the "just world" logic, where bad things happen to bad people, and when good people die, they say things like, "they've gone to a better place."
They essentially are serving the same purpose, which is attempting to make sense out of a world that is chaotic and at times, incomprehensible. Slapping a God band-aid on it really isn't the healthiest way to cope because once you're a little more emotionallu removed from this situation, you're going to be thinking differently. Rather than attempting to find meaning through God, you just need to grieve appropriately until you feel a little better. When your head clears if you still want to seek out some answers, you'll be in a much more objective state of mind.
