I'm sorry, Tony. I'm about one of the most cynical people out there, so I don't know if I can be much comfort. But I can say that in my experience, some of the biggest emotional tragedies and obstacles tend to develop us in a positive way. Some of the worst things in my life have made me a better person. And even the crap I'm dealing with now are bringing about positive changes in me. Despite how painful the events are, I can already feel myself making better choices and handling things differently. I'm trying to better myself so I won't have to deal with these problems again.
So...as hard as this stuff is, just remember that something good will come of it. You may not recognize it at first, but it'll come.
As for your harddrive...I'm also sorry to hear about that, but let's hope you've learned your lesson when it comes to warez, eh?
