I once heard a fascinating and beautiful series (series, and even then the person speaking said it was just the tip of the iceberg) on why bad things happen to good people. From a very, very kosher source, BTW. What you suggested, Gila, are just some of the possibilities. No one can, or SHOULD, try to figure out specifically why one got a certain nisayon. Maybe, maybe speaking directly to a rav who personally knows you may shed some light, but as you look for reasons behind the suffering, just know you will not find THE reason, and that’s not a bad thing in this world. I’ve very impressed with the posts so far and hope they give you some chizuk.
