Distressed is how I would describe a friend who had just been informed of the death of an acquaintance in rather unpleasant circumstances.
"Not so good things happen to all of us at some time in our lives. Don't take it personally. We just have to put it behind us and move on. That's why we speak of things that have happened as, 'In the past'..."
"Yes... I need these reminders. I'm angry at myself for being so easily mentally affected," she responds.
"Don't get angry with yourself. We all go through ups and downs. I believe to avoid negative emotions we have to work hard at looking at the bright side of things and more importantly, having faith in God's plans for us. My oft inspirational quote - "Allah is the best of planners"; and if we question ourselves or question Him as to why we are in tough situations, we are actually doubting His knowledge. Allah puts us in situations that He knows we CAN handle. It is for our betterment when he does so in order for us to be better individuals. To give up means to not believe in His Greatness and Wisdom."
