I’m older now and I empathize with you and your feelings. I have gone through HARD trials. May I say that you will understand, but the Lord’s timing is different than ours. You may understand today, or in one of your tomorrows, or when you pass through the veil, but you will understand. Don’t give up on your faith, be strong in it. This is what I do know. The gospel of Jesus Christ has been restored to the earth and the fullness of it is in THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER DAY SAINTS.

What a wonderful way to consecrate your trial and seek for opportunities for improvement and growth. Thank you so much for sharing!

I have found that in “every” trial there is a place within us that is pure light and no matter the darkness we may feel, the “light” is always there for us. That “light” is who we really are! It is our divine potential, our birthright and inheritance! It cannot be destroyed by anyone. It cannot be take from us. It cannot be violate, desecrated or disappear. It is our “holy of holies” and will always be there for us, but we must enter and embrace it. It is how we connect to Christ and Father personally.

It took months to recover and still hurts after 17 years. After my injury there were several people in our ward and stake who had bad ankle and leg injuries. I had so much empathy for them and my wife had so much empathy for their spouse/ care giver. We could go and visit and really understand. Before that injury I would not go visit people who were injured. I didn’t know what to say. After my injury I knew what to say. What a blessing it was for us.

I hope in time you will be able to see the Lord’s hand and find peace and comfort. <3

I thought I had finally got it right, that he was who would be with me through eternity not just here. But yet, he quit. I’m a convert of almost 4 years, and this just hurts so much, I feel so let down and discouraged…disappointed. His family that I admired for their faith has turned out to be just as disappointing. I know that I didn’t join the church for any of them, at all, but satan sure is using this to hurt my faith.
I don’t want this lesson to be able to have empathy. I know divorce, I know disappointment…I don’t need another dose to feel more for others that may go through it.

I just don’t understand and maybe I never will.
