What happens when life hurts so badly that you begin to question whether you can trust God?

Actor and comedian Billy Crystal reportedly shared that personal tragedy and loss have changed his relationship with God. His story raises a question that believers and nonbelievers alike wrestle with: If God loves us, why does He allow so much suffering?
