an abyss of suffering

I find this quite commonly used, and also easy to understand as it reflects the idea of a deep, immeasurable space:

"Abyss
noun
1. a deep, immeasurable space, gulf, or cavity; vast chasm.
2. anything profound, unfathomable, or infinite: the abyss of time.
3. ....a. the primal chaos before Creation.
.........b. the infernal regions; hell.
.........c. a subterranean ocean."

"Into the ABYSS OF SUFFERING: A Catholic View
Humanity still experiences Good Friday. Mental and physical illness, poverty and starvation, wars and systemic violence of all kinds overwhelm individuals, communities, entire nations. Each of us has a personal story of suffering. At times we cry out to God with the Psalmist: You plunged me into the bottom of the pit, into the darkness of the abyss. We search for comfort, light and meaning. From Chapter One, The Dark ABYSS OF SUFFERING "
