I'm not sure our OP will be back, but some perspective I haven't seen in this thread: (w/ apologies if I missed it)
1) She's got valid perspective that deserves to be validated;
2) suffering is part of the Christian walk, specifically in the struggle against sin;
3) "deny yourself, take up your cross and follow [Jesus]" tells us to brace ourselves for having our own needs NOT be met, and that it will kill us.
Let's not pretend to make this easier than it really is.
