Re: Karma (going through a tough time)
Pranam
Some great advise has been given as Yajvan ji said 'Gahana Karmano Gati' Lord Krishna says, workings of Karma are very difficult to ascertain because there are many permutations at play, but one thing is for sure no one but ourselves are responsible for our pain and pleasure.
Here is a link provided by Saidevo in another discussion similar to this, I thought may be relevant. It discusses fate ie previous Karma and free will by which we act to build current Karma

I am also of the opinion that nothing happens without a reason and it is always for the best, this may sound horrible when we are suffering but something good always comes out of it. I sympathise with your position but remember love is blind and very fickle, I am sure you will get over it in due course off time. having said that I am still grieving the loss of my mum, what good or how is it best I am still to find out, its been years but it will come.
Incidence however sad or pleasant are part our life, we must always take the positive out of it , in this regard one story comes to mind I shell narrate it as sort as poss.
Minister of a king had a habit of saying every thing happens for the best, one day the king cut his finger and true to his habit minister said it happened for the best. King in his rage locked his best friend up in the prison.
One day the king went hunting alone in the forest and in the thick of it he got lost and got caught by the junglees, they were looking to sacrifice a human. Ready to beheaded, the priest noticed the missing finger and immediately released the king.
The king upon getting back to his kingdom released his minister and repented the fact that he jailed his best friend and asked his forgiveness. The king asked his friend sure, my loosing the finger, saved me from sacrifice but tell me my friend what was your fault? you had to suffer for nothing how can that be described as happened for the best?
Minister replied my dear king had you not jailed me I certainly would have accompanied you for the hunt, you never went hunting without me, in that case I certainly would have been sacrificed.
Jai Shree Krishna
Rig Veda list only 33 devas, they are all propitiated, worthy off our worship, all other names of gods are derivative from this 33 originals,
Bhagvat Gita; Shree Krishna says Chapter 3.11 devan bhavayatanena te deva bhavayantu vah parasparam bhavayantah sreyah param avapsyatha Chapter 17.4 yajante sattvika devan yaksa-raksamsi rajasah pretan bhuta-ganams canye yajante tamasa janah
The world disappears in him. He is the peaceful, the good, the one without a second.
