Pain to Paralysis – Coming Apart at the Seams

Pain is both a product and by-product of our life. Clearly, we’re no stranger to pain as we’ve met its variant forms on a variety of occasions, in a variety of situations, with a whole variety of responses to it. Pain becomes that entirely unwanted but all too common partner who refuses to leave us alone for too long, if it leaves us alone at all.

Yet, what about those times when the pain we’re experiencing has blown way beyond anything we’ve ever experienced before? What about those times when the pain is agonizingly unbearable and the resources that we have to deal with it just aren’t there to do that? What about the times when we’re drowning in a level of pain that has engulfed every resource and has therefore engulfed any hope that we have. What about those times? Even in those kinds of moments there are some practical and quite effective things that we can do to deal with our pain.
