Managing pain can be hard, whether it is physical, mental, or spiritual.  When we come to the realization that this world is not all there is, that there is life after death, it helps us to live above the pain.  "So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but what is unseen.  For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."-2 Corinthians 4:18. -Pastor Mike
