Why?

So, I went to a gathering of Hare Krishnas with my neice last night-I love visiting with them they are so inviting and inspirational. The theme of the talk was attachment to things...and how that keeps you from God. I got to thinking about my own life in the past 3 years:  lost my health, my son moved away to college, lost my job, my man, my savings and my home- not sure what else there is really. Why?  Who was I in my other life (I am a true believer in Karma and re-incarnation {personal belief-please do not debate with me} and I do not wanna come back again) So, now, not having felt to close to God as of late, am going to really try to meditate on this premise (or truth) and see how that works for me.  I am hoping for answers to several questions!
