Losing faith

"We have lost my faith in Goddess Durga"

One of the devotees who had come to the temple located in Bilaspur district of Himachal Pradesh, which witnessed the unfortunate stampede, because of a rumour of a landslide in the vicinity.

How easy is it to lose faith in some diety or someone? I guess pretty easy, or pretty difficult. Circumstancial as you may think, but we never know what the devotees would have gone through. Imagine going with your family to a place of worship to find out that your loved ones passed away.

It is impossible to lose faith in someone after having trusted someone/diety all your life. More so because all the faith is shattered as soon as something happens in ones life when nothing can be undone? Is this what belief is all about?
