There are two sides to every coin.
I really agree with this idiomatic expression. Every situation and event have two sides as if coin has sides of head and tail. In my life, this expression was applied a lot. In particular, when I faced trouble that seemed not to be solved, thinking of various possibilities was helpful for me. Sometimes these thinking habit helps me find unexpected results. In other word, If I loose somthing, I can get something. However, in trouble situation, it was hard for me to think of this. When I was elementary student, my father was injured in car accident. At that time my father had to be in hospital for 6months. I was so scared because I thought that my father might die. I prayed for my father with all my heart and studied hard at that time because those were all that I could. Even though my father's car accident was bad news and sad event in my life, I could realize that not only existence of my father was very precious for me but also I loved my father so much. In my adolescent period, I could be mature through this event. I don't believe that terrible situation always have bad side and all situation and people cannot change.

Your experience is sad but valuable, I think. In many situations, we are not sure whether the result will be good or not. However, we must try to see a good side of the incident.:)
Now your dad is healthy. right? Yes, Sometimes, we can see our weakness in bad situations; however, by experiencing those events, we can grow to be wiser. ^_^
You are right!
We may face some difficulties in our life; however, we can overcome the difficulties..
I think this idom is not only important for you, but also for us. We can learn a lot from it. Hope all of us can face difficulties better after learning this idom.
I agree with Linda, we must try to see a good side of the incident.
I like this quote very much :)
Overcoming is always followed something kind of obstacles
You have shared a really personal applicaiton of this idiom. I agree that in the midst of such a terrible situation, it is hard to look at any possible good that can come from it. I think you had the right attitude and did the right things. :)
