No matter what circumstance we find ourselves in, we have to remember that God is always near to us and it is in His presence that we have fullness of joy:
Psalm 16:11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
Someone could find him/herself in the situation you find yourself and have fullness of joy and pleasures due to being in the presence of God.
On the other hand, someone could find him/herself in perfect health and yet be in despair because he/she is not in the presence of God.
Remember that God holds you close to His heart. Allow yourself to bask in His loving arms where His healing balm is applied to your heart and mind, no matter what you experience in your life.
Recall those verses in Scripture which tell us that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us (Rom 8:18) and that tell us our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory (2 Cor 4:17).
Keeping all these things in mind helps us through the times in life where we face the unimaginable. Keep your heart focused on God when you find yourself in those excruciatingly painful moments. He will continue to perform that good work in you until the day of Jesus Christ (Phil 1:6). That is something He works on the inside ... no matter what the outside looks / feels like.
