"WHY" is an impossible question in suffering.

"WHY" we want to know when bad things happen, when disaster of some sort strikes. Neither Jesus ,nor Paul, nor any Christian philosopher or theologian has an answer.
In the face of suffering (see the book of Job) to ask "why" sends one on an impossible search. The only answer is an incomprehensible mystery.
Actually, only the Buddha had the answer.
"to be human is to suffer" 
Thee is no escape.
Therefore
the highest human value is compassion,
-both for oneself and for others.
