Something isn't right in this world?

A close family friend of mine's daughter died in december. she just hit the floor and she was dead. later, the biopsy reported that she had some sort of heart problem which didn't cause an symptoms. Now currently, his other daughter supposedly had ovarian cancer which traveled to the brain and now she has atleast 10 lesions on her brain and the doctor said that she only has 2 weeks to live. why is the world being so cruel to this man, he truly loved his daughters and is probably the nicest man i've met in my life. Also, how can someone have ovarian cancer and have ZERO symptoms!? I truly am incapable of comprehending how the world runs. The world is a cruel place.

Everything happens for a reason. God has a plan for us all.
Reply:Sometimes, bad things happen to good people. We do not have the answers to this age old question of WHY
Reply:Yes sometimes it is....the cancer is the worst because do not hurt till it's too late....I'm sorry but besides praying there's nothing left to do...maybe her sister wants her close to her because she's lonely there :-(
Reply:i agree, horrid stuff happens to people who don.t deserve it at all....but we can.t be resentful at it......well stay resentful at it....
Reply:unfortunately things can go unnoticed.
Reply:I'm very sorry for your friend. I can't even imagine what he is going through.





For the record, ovarian cancer is known to be "the silent cancer". Many women have ovarian cancer with no symptoms at all. Usually, by the time symptoms show up, the cancer has progressed. It is a difficult cancer to diagnose, unfortunately. It is limited to usually one ovary (possibly both), and when symptoms do start, they are very mild. This is why it is so important to go to a GYN regularly.





Unfortunately, horrible things happen to good people all of the time. There are many people in the world who experience horrible and tragic things. There are people starving to death, people who are homeless, children who suffer form cancer and never get a chance to enjoy their life, orphans who never knew their parents, children who are murdered by demented people, etc....I could go on and on.





We will knew really know why these things happen...but it's normal to feel hurt, angry, and bitter. We want so badly to understand why, but we can't. What we have to do is rely on other people we care about to get us through, and we have to truly believe everything happens for a reason. Religion has a big role here...if you believe in God, then you can believe He will take care of everyone and He does what is best. If not, then you have to believe (as hard as it is) that everything that happens has a reason and it was meant to happen, even if it doesn't make sense. You can compare it to a child having to get a shot. The child will cry, and the shot will hurt, and the child's parents won't do anything to stop it. The child will wonder why his/her mommy and daddy are letting him/her suffer, and the parents can't make the child understand he/she needs the shot to be protected.





Also, remember this: good things come from any tragedy.





An example of this: Amber Hagerman was a beautiful little girl who was brutally murdered. It is so tragic and heartbreaking that this happened...but because of her murder, the AMBER Alert System was created and many children have been saved. It is as if Amber herself is helping these children.





I hope this helped, and I hope you can pass it on to your friend. Be there for him and the family. He will be in my thoughts, along with his daughter and family.





Take care.
Reply:I think there are things we will never know this side of Heaven. This is definitely one of them. I don't know that it does any good searching for answers when there aren't any. Just try to really be there for your friend. He is going to need all the support he can get. So very sorry about this. As stated, ovarian cancer can be really bad before you know it. I lost a friend to it when she was only 18. I will keep you all in my prayers.
Reply:Atleast today we have the means to find the medical reasons for dieing. 50 years ago even people just died or got sick and died without being able to find the reason. I think knowing the medical reason provides much more closure than not knowing. I think we are actually progressing on this front.


I know you may not see it now, and you may never see it, but I promise there is a reason and somewhere, something positive will come of these things happening.


You may want to suggest to your friend and if you are close enough to these people you may want to consider as well is psychological counseling. This stuff is hard and most people do need some type of outside help.
Reply:I am so sorry. I guess my thoughts have been along the same lines lately, too. Why do so many things happen to one person?
Reply:I am sorry.





But he trully shouldn't give up hope on this daughter...u never know...
