Help...trying to remember which special this was

I looked through all the other posts first to see if this had already been asked or answered, but I didn't see it anywhere. There was one (late 80s or early 90s I think) where a girl drowned and her little sister had a hard time dealing with the death. I remember her saying something like "I hate God" and vaguely remember her being afraid that God was going to come take her too. Anyone remember this one or know the name of it? I'm pretty sure it was an After School Special, but maybe not.

This one is probably too old to be the one you're looking for, but it's the closest description to the episode.

Season 5, Episode 6: Very Good Friends
Original Air Date—6 April 1977
A sensitive young girl (Melissa Sue Anderson) gradually comes to terms with the accidental death of her younger sister. Based on the award-winning young adult novel by Constance Greene.

Thank you for your answer! Unfortunately that wasn't the one, but I just found the right one (after 2 years of searching)and came here to post it.

It was "A Family Again" from 1988 and it's on youtube! I just watched it...so nostalgic :)

Such a shame what happened to little Judith Barsi (who played the youngest sister) :(

Whether you like a movie or not doesn't make it good or bad. It's all a matter of opinion.
