Dickens on the death of a young person

The following words from Charles Dickens (in Oliver Twist) help me on this, the first anniversary of my nephew's death:

"It is not always the youngest and best who are spared to those that love them; but this should give us comfort in our sorrow; for Heaven is just; and such things teach us, impressively, that there is a brighter world than this; and that the passage to it is speedy."
