Doctor, it hurts when I exist is about pain and love, how they are intertwined and both permanent and ever present. In contemporary society pain is to be avoided: we push it away, distract ourselves from it with food, alcohol, television, drugs, work. But numbing ourselves from pain numbs our entire existence. The gift of pain is a message about what is important in life. It not only tells us how to love; it also provides us with an opportunity to discover sources of strength and flexibility within us that help us thrive.
