Yesterday on sultan.org the Arabic portion, I read a story of one Palestinian who went to picnic with his pregnant wife and three children, to make a long story short, the bus was raided, the driver killed immediately, his wife and son were shot and died, and his other son was shot in the back, had a cord injury and is now paralyzed.. he needs contant care, some family in spain sponsored treatment for the kid and the man with his injured son and his remining daughter are moving there shortly to spain.. he said he can't look back for he has to remain strong for his remaining children...
Why did I write this compendious piece when anyone can simply go read it?
Simple.. life is full of crap and strife..one can be fatally overwhelmed, or one can pick up the pieces and see how they can move on with their lives..
I am not making a case for God or Islam.. I don't think I or anyone else needs to. So for the original poster... I can appreciate your troubles, it would be condescending for me to write this and not have experienced loss or hardship myself.. it is simply the lot of wo/man as decreed for her/him on this earth (the human condition)...
will end on this note and hope you reflect a little on your state of affairs..

[Pickthal 2:155] And surely We shall try you with something of fear and hunger, and loss of wealth and lives and crops; but give glad tidings to the steadfast,
