Reply To: What can we learn from a tragedy like this?

And by the way, mamin, I have 4 of my own. My eldest was gravely ill a few years back and his life was in the balance so I know unfortunately all too well what it means to ask for HB’H’s hashgocho protis in such a situation. At the same time I had to make sure he was in the best hospital with the best surgeons and the best care in the WORLD for his illness. I had to make decisions on surgery and learn how to care for him from the nurses. I can tell you with almost absolute certainty that had we not done our hishtadlus my son would most likely have died. Boruch Hashem we needed to act and that is exactly what we did. With HB’H’s help, with the help of our family, our kehila, and lots of davening, my son is healthy today ba’h.
