Family CriSSSSeeeSSSS :X

Who has not been involved in family crises before? I think we can all agree that it is a part of family life. We all have experienced it, we all have seen it, and have been terrified at the effects that it could have in our families. Most of these unwanted but unavoidable situations are part of family life and it definitely creates anxiety and stress. The thing we need to understand is that: Family stress is a normal part of our experience in mortality. Sometimes a needed and essential part! Through these challenges we learn of the purpose of this life. Understanding the purpose and meaning of our suffering allows us to endure these situations. According to Viktor E. Frankl, a psychologist survivor of the concentration camps in World War II Germany: "one can find purpose in life by learning to find meaning in suffering". His therapy (Logotherapy) is an attempt to help us find the meaning and purpose of all things. He agrees that suffering is unavoidable and sometimes a necessary part of existence. Why then do we freak out when problems strike our families?
