Health Challenges

When illness strikes it’s not just your body that needs tending to but also your emotions

Hashem gives each person the challenges that best fit the requirements of his or her soul. Some people will benefit from money troubles some from marriage struggles some from parenting difficulties and some from health issues. (Of course some people will benefit from more than one kind of challenge!)

While one’s intellect can appreciate the fact that Hashem does everything for the good one’s emotions can take a hit: many personal struggles feel really bad. The biggest challenge of all can be the battle to create a cord from the brain to the heart so that one both recognizes and feels Hashem’s loving guidance during times of hardship.

Health Concerns

Health concerns affect everyone — at different times and in dramatically different ways. Sometimes there is physical pain or discomfort to contend with; sometimes there is emotional anguish. There may be a lengthy frustrating search for the right doctors medicines or treatments. There can be hefty financial costs that strain the family budget.
