Sometimes people think that having faith means never being angry, hurt, or sad. That’s not true at all. Separation from anybody you love is difficult. We can trust God’s plan, believe that our loved ones who have left us have gone to heaven, and still mourn their passing. Sadness and suffering are a part of life. If you have faith, those things can bring you closer to God. I believe it’s God’s purpose to help us through the suffering, not avoid it altogether.
