Why this Trio of Travail, Sorrow & Death?

"Q: Why is there travail, sorrow, and ultimately death in this life? 
Q: Why does God allow this to happen to His children? 
Per Romans 8:20, “for the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope.” 
In other words, because of the fall of man—the shift of the first man and woman from a state of innocent obedience to God to a state of guilty disobedience—all of God’s creation was exposed to a curse. 
 As a result of that curse, 
all creation now groans 
(For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. Romans 8:22)." ICR
