This is called Ibur Sheini (lit: 2nd pregrnancy). The trials and tribulations of being dragged into a cave, into a problems with a spouse, children or livelihood. When we ask ourselves "why is Hashem so angry with me?" Emerging from the process [and the cave] stronger. What do we daven (pray) for on Lab Ba'Omer? Who I am is determined in the caves of my life.
