My earliest growing pains seemed to go on for years though now I generally cycle through in a matter of hours or at most a few days, making it through each time that much happier. It's the peeling of an onion. Tears can be shed, but in the end it's liberating. I generally go for a walk and do my best to just watch the process. The walk is both good for processing and getting away from people for a little while so I don't offend them as I work through things.
