No understanding

As a counselor, I wonder how best to get people through grief. Lately, I've wondered about getting through mine. This time of year is usually a bit rough..especially with five year anniversary of my mom's Homecoming coming up on the 21st...but it's more so this year due to the fact that many people around me have died due to cancer. I'm having such a time trying to wrap my brain around the "why" of it all. I'm sure that clients have the same question. I'm just not sure how to answer it. I can't even answer it for myself. I guess I say all this because I don't understand why so many people I know and care about have died from cancer. I know it's a sickness in our world that is unpredicatable and is here because of the fall of man, but it's still so hard sometimes to say "that's life". This is just the continuing struggle I go through as a counselor in training. How do I counsel those in grief? How do I help them find the answers they are searching for when I can't see to find them myself at times. I know God is is control and my fleshly body and brain cannot comprehend the bigger plan. But praise God that He does and that someday the answers will make sense. I'm just fortunate to know that I have a Savior who loves me and died for me and that when my time comes, and my work here is done, I will be going HOME and standing in the presence of a Mighty God who understands my fleshly struggles.
