Why Me Lord?!

As a believer in God are you prepared for suffering and grief that will come your way? After the death of my beloved wife in 2018, I started searching for resources to provide some guidance on how to cope with the intense grief that comes with being a widower at a fairly young age. To my surprise, I found very few publications directed at helping widowers deal with the suffering of losing their spouse and almost nothing from a Christian perspective on the topic.
In the months following my wife's passing, I absorbed as much information on grieving and suffering as I could find. I read about grief and attended grief sharing sessions at my local church. But I kept questioning why these things happened to my family and why prayers were not heard. I realized that the church as a whole does not do a very good job in preparing the flock for grief and suffering which inevitably will come our way at some point in our lives.
During this period of confusion, doubt and crying out for answers, God responded to my protests and ultimately provided comfort as only he can. Why Me Lord?! Suffering Widower was written to offer witness to God's unwavering grace and to look into the insights regarding suffering from the Bible, primarily the book of Job.
