Seems to me, Tom, that you're struggling here...

If God didn't allow us to suffer, He would be a controlling entity - and we
mere automatons.  We do have choise - that is required by true love.

I'd be really interested to know what it is that you believe about God?
Do you think yourself an athiest, agnostic, what... and why?
