When Bad things Happen to Good People by Harold S. Kushner
Where is G-d when you have just been told that your child has an incurable disease? or that your child is suddenly gone without giving you a chance to say good-bye?
Rabbi Harold S. Kushner wrote “When Bad Things Happen to Good People” as a personal tribute to those who are searching for answers, and for truth, and some good in the world when their world has just shattered.
The Rabbi’s son was diagnosed with progeria, “rapid aging.” As a rabbi, he spent much of his time consoling others who faced tragedy but now he was faced with whether he could practice his own preachings of wisdom, courage and faith. Rabbi Kushner does not ignore the human pain, but rather offers a response to how such bad things could happen and how to handle them while dealing with one’s grief.
This book may help people also when struggling with one’s own faith during this difficult time and also can help children to deal with the struggles of losing a parent suddenly or after a lengthy illness such as ARDS.
