But, now you have lost the inner strength of bearing that pain. Hence, he is looking for an empty place in his beautiful garden so that you can get there to rest.
God was able to see that you were in very intense pain this time, and your body cannot withstand it. Hence, there was no chance that you will get well on the earth. The roads of life were becoming tougher and tougher. Thus, God closed your weak eyes for a while and took you away from us.

God looked around his garden,
And found an empty place,
He then looked down upon the earth,
And saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you,
And lifted you to rest,
God’s garden must be beautiful,
He always takes the best.
He saw the road was getting rough,
And the hills were hard to climb,
So he closed your weary eyelids,
And whispered “Peace be thine”.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you didn’t go alone,
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
