| When bad things happen to good people....Why??? Hello everyone Throughout my work as a counsellor, I meet some truly lovely people. The expression “shit happens” often rings true and often seems so unfair. Take for example the parents I met a few weeks ago, who tried for 8 years to have a child. Finally some £ 40,000 later they achieved their aim and successfully had an IVF child . Their aim was short lived, their adored little girl died age 3 years of Leukaemia, 6 weeks from being diagnosed. So many times clients ask me “why me” or “why us”. “What have we ever done to deserve this?” Equally so.........they ask “why bad people get such a good ride”? The words it’s not fair ring very true! What do you say? What’s the answer? I don’t know the answer .........do you ? Of course none of us knows the true answer; some may say we find out in the afterlife, others simply say that **** happens! I wondered if we could have a forum discussion on your opinions as to the reasons why, or indeed to share your own experiences of “why me “. Maybe it can help fellow sufferers to at least find some kind of resolution or indeed reason when their seems no reason? Sorry if I sound depressing but it is an interesting subject and full of individual opinions , each one important and valid in their own right and I for one am sure many others here would be interested to hear your thoughts and experiences too.
