This too shall pass.
The physical pain slowly subsides.
The bleeding heart starts paining more.
Pain isnt always physical ... You, yourself is a reservoir of pain, waiting to find cracks in the pot internally or externally.
Doesnt feel right. How much strong one can be. Is it being strong or feelingless? Look at the other guys, they crib about their companions but they forget its the very shadow of their loved ones, they are finding solace. Without that umbrella they wouldn't survive a day without complaining.
Not having anyone to complain about is also painful.
