It was many years ago when my mom began telling me that for everything bad, something good comes out of it, and even in the worst of times, I have never seen her proven wrong. This is also the reason I share this sentiment with anyone who might be troubled or hurting about anything, hoping they will stay encouraged and know that, at some point, things will in fact get better. Of course, I will say, though, that doing this is much easier said than done because when my mom became terminally ill and passed away, it was a good while before I could even consider the idea of thinking on the positive side about much of anything. I also couldn’t see where any possible good could come out of losing the woman who meant everything to me. I couldn’t understand why my brothers and I had to lose our dear mom when she was only fifty-seven years old, and needless to say, there were times when I was so hurt and I became so angry that, ultimately, I became angry with God for allowing any of it to happen. I was so heartbroken and devastated, and worse, there was a period of time when I just didn’t want to go on. In today’s episode, I share three things you can do when bad things happen to you or someone you care about.
