Recently I ran across this website http://www.uoregon.edu/~vaintrob/katya/update.html Studying this mother's distressing account but particularly, looking at the pictures she published of her young girl, I was so overcome that I found it hard to even appear at the angel face of this child. All yesterday I was anxious - also had unusual, troubling dreams - and the moment I opened my computer I went right to her site, today. Wihout finding also theoretical, please, please could we examine why kiddies such as this child need certainly to endure. I'm not really a total fool concerning Orthodox values, so I assume that what I need is just a frank, straightforward dialogue that will give me a of hope, anything that will make me quit hating this world and residing in it when such harsh and unjust things happen (that is the way in which I feel this day, sorry...) That son or daughter was surrounded by caring individuals who served her and she was so, so courageous. Did she be matured by her suffering in some way beyond her years? She also wrote poetry that, for me, shows a perception very few people can handle. Why was her small human anatomy tortured the way in which it was? All use every means at our disposal to cure it when some thing terrible occurs we, but I can't help thinking occasionally whether we cause needless suffering to people who curently have their ailments to handle. Plenty of medications function but 99% have severe, occasionally disastrous, side-effects. I understand that a number of Orthodox priests and nuns have refused treatment and depended on God's help, but which can be the greater way. Doctors are also tools that God uses but we're all conscious that nowadays individuals are occasionally used ruthlessly by chemical businesses (with the aid of physicians) to advertise their products. I understand this from personal knowledge just because a year or two before my daughter was critically ill. The health practitioners within our local hospital did a good job - he was also helped by his constitution we were told by them - but every day at 1p.m. after their daily convention they'd first see the representatives of the different drug businesses and then they'd see the groups of information was wanted by the patients, who about that which was happening. Therefore, you can observe why on the one hand I'm happy but I'm conscious of possibly menacing undercurrents in the medical profession on the other. Often it's only a situation of "try this and if it doesn't perform, we'll try anything else." Within our situation we were very, very fortunate and I thank God for he was helped by the people who. Sorry to hold on and on both of these issues on but I want your views - suffering and what type of medical remedies we could resort to. Effie
