If you accept that there is a God and an afterlife - and that the spiritual nature of being is eternal while the body is transient - then you might consider that all the events of our physical lives contribute little to the quality of our entire existance. That we suffer and die are consequences of our actions and interactions in physical life.
For instance, "Evil" (for lack of a better word) lies in the heart and soul of the murderer and takes its toll on the quaility of his/her spiritual life. Those who suffer and die will find ultimate peace in the afterlife (or the next life - depending on your beliefs). Why does God need to intervene?
