JazakomAllahu kheir for your reflection. May Allah make everything easy for you and your wife. May Allah make this hardship a means of earning His pleasure.

It’s very true, we often live as if there is no hereafter. May Allah grant us the ability to always be focused on Him and our concern to be earning His pleasure. I learned from my teacher about how each situation in our life, good and bad, we should see it as an opportunity to worship Allah. In Surah Al Mulk, Allah says Blessed be the One whose hands is the dominion, He is the true king, The true owner, everything is in His hands. He is the One who has created death & life [He created hardship & ease, joy & sadness, he created opposites, why?] to test you, which one among you are the best and in tribulations can perform the most beautiful of deeds. I know for me it’s easier said than done…. but this ayah gives me hope that if Allah puts us in a situation then Allah knows that I can handle it and through my reaction I can make it an opportunity to get closer to Allah.

Sorry for my long email. But I just wanted to let your wife know that she will be in my dua in sha Allah. I also want to share a story of another sister that I know, Rehab El Buri, she passed away a few years ago at the age of 26 from cancer. I never meet her but ever since I have read about her, I often make dua for her. She was an amazing person and touched me so much.
The following are links about her, if you can please share with your wife:

Her blog: http://rehabelburi.blogspot.com/?m=1

If you can also please share the following lecture with your wife. “Why to bad things happen to good people” by Ustadh Hassan Elwan. This sheikh is an amazing teacher and his talks are always heart touching, making you realize how the most beautiful thing to have in life is true love and focus on Allah.
Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People? – Ustadh Hassan Elwan

JazakomAllahu kheir
