Loosing Faith

Hello,

A friend of mine is loosing faith.

During the last few months she has been going from one tragedy to another.

It started with her father becoming seriously ill and then after creating a false hope of recovery he finally succumbed to Cancer.
She had just about recovered from the loss of a parent when her husband lost his job.
If this was not enough, she was once again shocked by the news that her younger sister is also suffering from Cancer.
Finally, she recently had a fall and has hurt her back so badly that it has affected her eyesight and concentration.
To top it all, her husband has found it an appropriate time to go on a vacation and calls her from there saying that he is enjoying the weather in a far away place.
This poor lady is handling her job, her two kids and the households chores all alone and although she is strong, attached to her husband, loving to her kids and devoted to Allah, she is loosing faith.

She is a dear friend and although she is getting some support at work from her colleagues, the absence of her husband at such a critical juncture is almost the last straw on the camel's back.

This is real test of faith and I want to see how God helps her.

My prayers are with her.

Manoj
