Like a great scale, it is often out of our deepest tragedies that our greatest hope, our greatest joys, arise. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 talks about this as well. Our suffering isn't something that happens because God isn't paying attention. On the contrary, our suffering has great purpose.

The all-encompassing comfort that the Lord gives us in our time of need is powerful enough to not only heal OUR heart - but also those around us who are suffering in a similar way. God's comfort in our time of distress is so prevailing, that His healing hope not only fills our heart, it overflows to all in need.

This is something I read today, and something about it stood out to me! I'm still learning about all this, and waiting to 'see' the great joy and hope come around in my life, from the things that were so hurtful. (If that all makes sense) Anyway, I just have to keep trusting God to keep working!
