helpless.

it hurts me --almost to the point of breaking-- to watch good, obedient, stalwart people suffer and know nothing i do will take away the pain.

i frequently wonder why tragic things have to happen to the people i care about.

but i don't really have an answer.

i am a fixer.

but there are things that can't be mended and anguish that must be felt before healing can begin.

and so i watch. helpless. always wishing i could do more.

life isn't fair.

nor will it ever be.

i just wish it didn't have to hurt so much.

I was on my mission when Preach My Gospel came out and I studied it over and over. One of my favorite quotes is this, especially the last sentence: "As we rely on the Atonement of Jesus Christ, He can help us endure our trials, sicknesses, and pain. We can be filled with joy, peace, and consolation. All that is unfair about life can be made right through the Atonement of Jesus Christ."
This sentence has brought me peace many times in my own life.
