Pain has a voice. It says, “Do whatever it takes to get me out of this right now!” It cries to make it stop! All of us choose different ways to respond to this thing called “pain” but what joins us universally is the reality that we are all trying to get as far away from PAIN as possible. Hard things happen to each of us, but it takes great understanding of how and when we actually began to experience pain and, ultimately, how to release it from our lives.
