We all suffer pain, be it physical or emotional during our life. There is no way around it, even if we resort to drugs or alcohol which only makes things worse. We all have our own ways of dealing with pain. For me writing has offered some relief. Support from family and friends can help with understanding, but they can not remove the pain.
Pain is the most individualizing thing on earth. It is true that it is the great common bond as well, but that realization comes only when it is over. To suffer is to be alone. To watch another suffer is to know the barrier that shuts each of us away by himself. Only individuals can suffer.
Edith Hamilton
Yes, pain is left when we lose somebody special to us. While it is important to appreciate how fortunate we are to have had those people in our lives, the pain will always be there because we miss them. Hopefully, we get some solace from knowing that we made the most of our moments with them. Hugs, dear friend. K&J
