What is the meaning of Pain?

If you are reading Widows Quest, you know the meaning of heartfelt pain. Pain hurts but the more I think about the real meaning of pain – I think that it is there for a reason. 
- It is there because we felt the true meaning of love. Would I have given up the chance to feel love…No. Pain is a sign that I have loved. I am lucky.
- Pain can help us understand more about the world and more about ourselves. Without pain would we learn to be compassionate?
- Pain is not a punishment, I like to think of it as a reminder of what has been so great in my life.
- Pain means that we are alive, that we are feeling, that we are human. If I didn’t feel pain…I would not be capable of all the happy emotions.
We may not like the feeling of our heart aching, of our pain from grief but I know that I would rather that than being void of all emotions.
Anna, I found your blog through Christian Carnival 210. Thank you for sharing. One thing we all share in life is pain, and we need each other for encouragement. I wrote about some of my recent lessons in pain and suffering a couple of months ago, in case you’re interested. Keep up the good work.
Shawn thank you for visiting and also sharing resources that can help us all survive and then thrive…
