The Problem of Pain

I will start by saying that I will probably get away from the article in this blog. Pain is a very peculiar feeling in that it has so many different forms and limitless ways to deal with it. There is physical pain, mental pain, emotional pain, and many more, but the type of pain that Lewis focuses on is emotional pain. I can't assume that all of us have lost a loved one but I can assume that we know somebody who has. Myself I have lost both of my grandmothers and they hit me hard. Granted this isn't the same pain as losing your spouse, as Lewis experienced when he lost Joy. But in a way, after watching the clip in class and seeing my grandpa after my grandma passed, I can feel their pain. I know if my girlfriend were to die suddenly I would be devastated. It is hard to move on when someone you loved for so long is gone forever, it has to be a very hard and challenging experience.

The best way I have found to deal with pain is just let it out, its best to get all of the crying out of your system as fast as you can (in my opinion). Yeah it may suck crying constantly but when you're done crying you realize that its for the best and that it is time to move on. When you get past the hardest part it starts getting easier. It must be also hard for parents when they lose a child. I don't really know how I will take it when one of these challenges faces me but I go in knowing that it will suck, a lot, and I just need to be strong and keep my chin high and realize that it is not the end of the world.
