st. john of the cross has a good book: the dark night of the soul.
yes, frater. all those in the path have the choice to be in such event in their lives. The way to overcome it is to practice and continue what one has started, for if one is in the dark night of the soul it is a period wherein spirituality may be lax and faith may be lost. In the case of Mother Theresa, she chose the path of Karma Yoga, the path of selfless service in honor of God. No wonder she never stopped caring for people.
