Introduction

At some point, everyone is affected by tragedy​—perhaps an illness, an accident, a natural disaster, or an act of violence.

People search for answers.

  • Some attribute suffering to fate or in some other way feel that we have little control over what happens to us.

  • Others believe in karma. They say that we suffer because of something bad that we did earlier in life or in a past life.

Tragedy often leaves people with more questions than answers.
