Quotes on Pain & Suffering
This December it will be 7 years that I have lived in pain. I feel it EVERY.SINGLE.DAY. Some days are better than others and those are the ones I live for. There are other days when I don’t even want to move because it hurts so much. When I’m experiencing a flare up, I know part of the battle is mental. I give myself pep talks and tell myself it will get better again and the 24/7 pain will eventually dissipate.
During those difficult times, I find myself coming back to these quotes. For some reason they seem to help me. The first one is one my grandfather used to say. It comforts me.
I’ve had chronic pain since 12/22/2000
I hear ya!!
It’s not easy that’s for sure!! Thanks for stopping by.
Thanks for these.
you’re welcome 🙂
I could have written that post! I woke up one morning when I was 22, a newlywed, and couldn’t move my hands or knees without crippling pain. That was 14 years ago, and I haven’t had a day without pain in my joints since then.
Thank you for the quotes, I am saving them!
I’m so sorry! Mine came on suddenly too. I was fine one day and the next day it was there full force.
Glad you liked the quotes. Thanks for stopping by!
These are so poignant and inspirational….beautiful Stacie!
Thanks Maureen!
Thanks for sharing these, Stacie! It’s been fifteen years for my husband and seven of those years have been with me so I’ve seen firsthand how draining chronic pain can be. I’m sharing these with him.
Thanks Kathryn! I’m sorry to hear that your husband has chronic pain too. Its definitely tough.
I am a chronic pain survivor too…10 years almost now…thanks for the quotes. 🙂
You’re welcome! Thanks for stopping by.
I suffer from Fibromyalgia, so I totally understand. Now that I have a 1 year old, I just have to keep going. I’m not the only person anymore.
That first quote is one my grandma ALWAYS says! I find myself saying it in my head sometimes too.
Thank you Stacie for sharing these lovely quotes.:)
These are beautiful. The first is my favorite. I hope today you are having a great day 🙂
My heart goes out to all who are in pain and suffering. I can relate but I know there are people who suffer greater than I so I try not to complain and let it get me down. Good days, and not so good days, take them as they come, right? Each day is a blessing! I love these quotes!
I too am never without pain. It is only the severity which wavers. I find comfort in Nietzche: “That which doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.”
Hi. I have 3 college age daughters. Onset of my conditions started after having my last child. It began with fibromyalgia. Then a fall brought on crps in my leg. Then I developed disk issues in my lower and cervical spine with all kinds of nerve pain. I seriously wondered if it would keep increasing. Then I developed a severe chronic migraine problem. (Luckily Botox treatment works for me) but it took years to sort out. I suffered with frozen shoulder for 13 months which came on spontaneously and now have arthritis in my hands, wrists and knees. I am in pain on many levels 24/7. I appear to be perfectly healthy and normal so my challenges are purely invisible as many of you know. Coping with the pain is my full time job. I wish you all peace and comfort.
Beatiful reminders! My pain right now is my grandmother’s slowly dying, and these gave me a bit of comfort this morning.
I had to pin these to my board of quotes. Needing the encouragement last few days. Just found out my 10 year old Boston Terrier may have a brain tumor. 🙁
My Mama alway said, “And this too shall pass.). My Mama was right. I miss her soooooooo much.
