I'd say

quandary, if you want to accentuate the dilemmas, the puzzling choices

predicament, if you want to accentuate the difficult, trying (and
perhaps puzzling) choices or experiences

the person had to make during her life

Thanks!

Quandary is better than predicament, I guess, as I want to emphasise the deep dilemmas in her life.
