All sins will be forgiven, except the sin against the Holy Ghost.
It is not our place to judge. Perhaps we would say that someone has brought upon themselves their misery and heartache - that their punishment is just based on past transgression. But we cannot see into their hearts. As the hymn says - in the quiet heart is hidden sorrow that the eye can't see.
Repentance is a difficult process. It is fraught with hardships and setbacks, heartache and remorse. Yet those who will see this road through to the end find themselves richly rewarded and strengthened by the experience, having been through the refiner's fire. They are more humble, more submissive, and closer to the Lord. They have been the one lost sheep that the Savior leaves the 99 for and have been carried back to the fold on His shoulders.
Life is good. There are miracles that happen daily. The greatest of these miracles is that of the penitent soul reaching out to God and changing his own life to that which God would have Him do.
