Romans 8:28 is an oft misunderstood piece of scripture, in part because it is often quoted or considered apart from its context, especially vs. 29-30. So, what is the 'good' to which God is working all things? Paul defines this in vs. 29: "to be conformed to the image of his Son." What is God working throughout human history to accomplish? Christ-like adopted children.
Human failings, tragedies and sorrow, and evil itself, all are not 'good', and God doesn't want you to pretend that they are. What they are, however, is NOT capable of derailing God's purpose in your life.
