Thank you Angela. It's good reminder to know that pain is a potential motivator for success. I have learned a lot from pain I've felt in the past and if I was impervious to the pain I'm feeling right now I wouldn't have the potential to grow from it as well.

Ok, here is something I would like some advice on. Is grieving essential to heal wounds? I find that it would be easier to just resume my normal life style and try and avoid feeling sad as much as possible. Is this repressing it though? How do you grieve without letting it take over your life?
