Westerners say 'Jesus Christ' in terrible situations too, it's used in a similar way.

I would hope that's how she meant it, but it still kinda puts a bad taste in my mouth. Some Christians I know have earnestly said similar things in response to tragedy.

Like when I asked one of my friends how he reconciled the idea that everyone who commits suicide goes to hell with the fact that our mutual friend committed suicide... He said God is omnibenevolent so logically him being in hell for eternity is a good thing.

So I wouldn't be shocked at all if the sentiment behind this lady's words was the same.
