Pain

Physical vs. Emotional

I was reading a blog called "Single Dad Laughing" and there was a Q up about pain and the worst pain you've ever been through.

Comparing pain.....I am not sure if the emotional pain of losing a child can compare to physical pain. There was one comment on it being relative to the past experiences you have encountered, pain wise or what not. Which makes sense to me on both the physical and emotional aspect. If you have encountered some of the worst pain everything else just does not compare. I worry sometimes if losing Stella and having to endure the emergency Csect were Gods way of preparing me for some of the hardships that are to come to me during this life time. Makes me nervous, really. I don't much like life as it is and if its going to be getting worse.....sigh. I would like to check out if that's the case.
But anyways most often the response to pain being hard was attached to childbirth. Somewhere in the 60-75% of replies were of this. I had 2 natural childbirths, on of which when I was 16 years old. Yeah it sucks, but really when you get to hold that child in your arms its euphoric. The birth of Stella was by far the most painful, for me. Having to get cut open and come out of anesthesia, in the worst pain imaginable just to learn it was all in vein and she died, was not only physically painful, but the hardest emotional pain I have ever endured and feel I ever will. Unless of course ((GOD FORBID)) I have to bury another one of my children & I PRAY I will never have to, God do I pray that. Any amount of pain medication or drugs can not numb the emotional pain of child loss.
But when it comes to comparing pain, there is no comparison, it is all relative.
