I wrote this article to bring solace and understanding to any parent who has lost their child. There is a reason “why.” I understand this pain. I know it feels as if you have lost your soul.
As disaster strikes, as havoc ensues, turmoil brings forth inward searching, a searching with greatest question asked by humankind: Why?
Why does tragedy befall those who are good? Why does misfortune prey on those who do not seek to find a harsh reality but are subject to pain many view as being wrongfully placed - on good, rather than evil?
The answer to this eternal question contains eternal truth.
The answer is: because those who are good will find a solution, a remedy, so that tragedy will never strike others or themselves again. They are ones who have a heart, who have compassion, who seek to bring justice and ease into lives in which injustice and tragic hardship previously prevailed.
Tragedy falls on special few so that there can be a solution for many.
You know in your heart pains you have undergone, and you also know all of good you are bringing or can bring into lives of others as a result.
So this is answer. Why you? Because you chose this as your reality, your sacrifice, with full agreement of souls of those who have also undergone tragedies that had such a vast impact on your life. They agreed to do this. Their worthy lives acted as catalysts for powerful and positive growth and change, for highest betterment of all.
