I don't think anyone gets it as bad as he did, but we all have that moment when something we thought was so important in our lives gets taken away, and too often people do not praise God in that moment. In the moment when Job has all of his children taken away, it's really amazing that he can say "The Lord gives and the Lord takes away." In our society, what Job said would be seen as unloving rather than understanding. Job knew God had a plan even though the pain he was probably feeling at that moment must have been nearly unbearable. That's a faith that could probably move mountains!
