Only Hashem has the missing link

In Hashem's Divine plan, Jacob was destined to be a Torah scholar and not a butcher; his second wife, Ora, with her wonderful middot, uplifted him to that level. This we can see. Jacob also made a painful but correct choice in backing up his wife when his son and daughter in-law didn't properly respect her. He didn't lose his son – his son chose to be ungrateful and inasmuch forfeited his father and step-mother.

Missing Link

I know the answer will be "Hashem calculates everything, etc". My question is why did Jacob 'suffer' with losing his wife and then his son (and grandchildren).
