Just when you begin to feel life is a okay, along comes a reminder of how challenging it really is. Foreclosures, problems with children, eating disorders. Does life boil down to the choices we make? (How do you convince a friend the choices they make are bad?) Yes, life is about choices, but we should not throw this around in such a carefree way. Making choices requires maturity, clarity of mind, and often a support system. Life is more than okay, it is a blessing when viewed and executed properly. I pray for my friend who is going through all of this.
I have a friends with terrible problems too. Just as she was getting ready to leave her husband when he was diagnosed with a brain tumor (she stayed with him until he died). Her sick mom died 6 months later. Her son is emotionally disabled and her brother has Asperger's (she cares for him). I hope things getter better for your friend.
