why do people have to sit back and watch the ones they love suffer with life treatening diseases and feel so helpless?

I don't know what others think, but I am also experiencing something similar to that. In my case I am the one who has life threatening disease. Three years back i was diagnosed of Amyotropic lateral schlerosis. I was pretty much worried for a time. But, these things can't be changed. We can't blame anyone for this. So, I accepted the truth. One way that I have used to feel good whenever I get depressed, is to think of those who don't even have a day's meal properly, or who are starving, whose body has shrunken to mere skeletons, all those kids who don't have anyone left in this world, all those who are blind, all those who can't walk...... I feel good not because of they suffer, but, thinking that atleast I have a roof over my head, a day's meal and have eyes to see the world, and parents who care for me. Then, I move on forward. And I always try to do something for those who's condition is far more worse than mine. What's the use of thinking over those miseries that befall us and making ourselves sad with no outcome at all ?? Isn't it a better way to live the remaining part of our life as much as we can ?? And as for the loved ones around who suffer, just we should make sure he live the way he wants, give him all the love that you have for him. Living a long life with less happiness around is no better than living a short live with happiness all around. GOD makes a balance to everything, I believe in that. Personally speaking, I have never been happy as I am now before I found out my disease. It wholly depends on the way we think. GOOD luck to you and the one you loved. MAY GOD BLESS YOU

Some questions are so hard to answer and some simply do not have answers. There are hard things in life that we all have to face, the lose of loved ones, illness and hard times. There is no logical explanation as to why these things happen, they just in fact do. Could God prevent them from occurring, well yes he could but he does not always intervene for his own reasons and sometimes we do not learn those reasons for years to come. Life is one challenge after another and dealing with those challenges is what makes us who we are. I am sorry if you are going through a hard time, if you have a sick loved one. May God provide you and them with peace and assurance that things will work out.

Yes I know this is so hard but I guess it is life, in a sad way it is one of the ings in life that makes the very people that are hurting become strong, but it is one of the hardest things in our lives and it basically shows us that we all really alone in life but some of us have company through it....
