That's so sad, but sometimes we've to insist hard tryouts in this life and people of your country have a crucial advantage by this in opposite to people of the western world, because mostly by you've a strong faith.

Believers not just have an advantage in this life with an eternal hope thanks to their faith (when atheists with their worldly hope giving up quickly in situations like this one), they see lost family members again when it's time to leave this "limited life" and go to the Lord, where the others are waiting.
