So actually expression of Ruth's mother in law in Ruth 1:20-21 was a paradigm for she said: And she said unto them, Call me not Naomi [Pleasant], call me Mara [Bitter]; for Shaddai hath dealt very bitterly with me. 21 I went away full and Hashem hath brought me back empty; why then call me Naomi, seeing Hashem hath testified against me, and Shaddai hath made me very bitter?
And obviously it was not true as Naomi became a grandmother of a child by which Ruth wanted to establish righteousness to her deceased husband and even more, for the child became a grandfather of king David and so the Messiah's ancestor. So all what happened to her was Hashem's hand and will for He ordains the path of a His people.
