Every cloud has a silver lining, not. Sometimes a cloud lingers and blocks the sunshine for a long time. When that cloud finally leaves, the sunshine returns, but that doesn't erase the fact that that cloud had no redeeming feature, no lesson to teach, no pretty. We often hear that it could have been worse, but that isn't the point. Author Harold Kushner explains how bad things happen to good people. No rhyme or reason. Not always fair.
Don't feel that everything has a purpose or is part of some master plan. Don't wonder why your guardian angel was off guard. Some situations have no happily ever after, and we just have to cope. It may never be the same. Looking for a silver lining isn't realistic in many cases. As a famous lyric says: Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again.
