Does anything help the sting of pain and suffering in life? What about that dull feeling that makes it near impossible to partake in the other joys and wonderful things all around? This gray dullness being what is present when the penetrating sting isn't currently felt? The gray remains. Where is the happiness, joy, color and life in their lives? Why can't things 'get better'?
My 'getting better' isn't necessarily what the Lord considers getting better. If it were me I would take the pain away, but would I really? I would like to, but I believe that everything is from the Lord, therefore, everything has meaning. From the greatest joy to the deepest sorrow. Easy for me to say, right? I haven't myself personally experienced the pain of loss that so many in the world have, that people I love have. If everything is from Hashem, as I believe it is, I need not entertain the thoughts of making life 'easier'. This is hard as I still want to. I have to trust Him.
I love you.
