Is there a higher power?

I don't have a straight answer for this, but my curiosity doesn't go away. Everyone has their own take on it, and everyone always has something to say. I have believed in god in the past.

When people die, what explanation do we have? We get nothing. My 13 year old cousin passed this summer of a heart attack. This isn't like losing your grandmother after she battles old age for three years. I'm not trying to downplay your grandmother. But how am I supposed to believe in a higher power when a healthy and active 13 year old who's never drank, smoked or done drugs has his heart stop at boy scout camp?

I respect people who have found strength in religion and I really want the happiness through it that I see radiating from other people. I just want to know, how does it happen. How do you put all of your faith into something you can't see?
