I'm so sorry to hear this.
Several years ago I read an article by Dr. Sproul in which he stated that the most often quoted verse in the Bible, but one that people don't believe is:
Rom 8:28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
I thought that was an excellent observation. Since then this little passage has helped me in understanding that, in good times and bad, God is doing everything for my good although I may not understand the purpose. And I thank RC for passing down this gem and his keen understanding.
May God grant RC is mercy and grace for a full recovery.
