[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 764328, member: 18958"] My experience is very like Nomad's. I will add a little bit. All of life on this earth is transitory. We are not promised a rose garden. Our children are borrowed from G-d. If we open our eyes, we see suffering all around us. Why should we be exempt? Why should our children? My bridge teacher's young son has autism and doesn't speak. My close friend's son in law just died of brain cancer. At 30. Why should I be exempt from suffering? Each of us, including our children, has lessons to live here on Earth. This is the work of their lives, just as we have our own work to do. Some of our work is handling being parents. And letting our children do their work. The lives of the greatest spiritual figures involved great suffering and loss. Some people do not make it through. But it's impossible to know at this point what the ending will be. This is where faith comes in. And prayer. And hope. And posting. [/QUOTE]
