If you take 100 people that have all lost an arm...or one of the senses...or a loved one, and study their behavior you will find that some of them have bouts of depression or misguided anxiety. Some of them will cope positively and look towards the future with a "perfect brightness of hope". Reality is that we are given the divine ability to choose our actions in response to these extremely life changing situations. I realize that this makes it sound easy but most people know that its not.
We will all cross paths with tragedy at some point in our lives. It may be social. It may be Spiritual. It may be physical. It may be financial. No one can escape this life without pain or sorrow. The beauty in our heavenly fathers plan is that all the pain and all the sorrow can be removed from the deepest reaches of our souls.
