Change the word dealt to deal.

On the whole, it is not too bad. A few touches may improve it further.
Technically, the comma after "spirit" and the second "and" should be removed, because it is not an independent clause following the second 'and'. An independent clause can be a sentence on its own. The words "life long" should be hyphenated to form one adjective. The preposition "of" is required inside "all which". When two verbs are used in the same sentence, as in the case of "... have helped her dealt with ...", you can either apply the form "... have helped her to deal with ..." or "... have helped her deal with ...", but it is grammatically incorrect to have both verbs in past tense (sorry, I can't remember the formal reason for it). "... she has and will encounter" is a common way of writing that just doesn't quite seem proper. Perhaps, you may want to consider "... the losses she has encountered and will encounter" or "... her losses now and possibly in the future." Following is the changed sentence:
Because of the suffering she has endured, she has gained strength of mind, character and spirit and learned life-long lessons, all of which have helped her deal with the losses she has encountered now and in the future.
Even when a sentence is grammatically correct, it can still be improved upon for readability and clarity. However, only the writer can decide on the style and fashion to present his/her thoughts.

Due to the suffering she has endured, she has gained strength of mind, character and spirit, and learned life long lessons, which have helped her deal with the losses she has and will encounter.
You could write it like that but its borderline correct grammar. Best bet and less of a headache is to make it two sentences.

Change it to two sentences.
Because of the suffering she has endured, she has gained strength of mind, character, and spirit. She learned life long lessons, all which have helped her to deal with the losses she has, and will, encounter.

change it so its something like this:
Because of the suffering [insert name here] has endured, she has gained strength of mind, character and spirit. Through this, [insert name here] discovered life lessons which have helped her deal with the losses she has, and will encounter.
