Hi I would like to share this passage from a daily meditation book I have. It is meant ,I think, to refer to emotinal pain but I feel like it speaks to me about the emotional and physical pain of IC

"No problem lasts forver. No matter how permanently fixed in the center of our lives it may seem,whatever we experience in this ever-changing life is sure to pass. Even pain.

Difficult situations often bring out qualities in us that otherwise might not have risen to the surface, such as courage,faith, and our need for one another. All of our experiences can help us grow.

But we may need patience. Some wounds cannot be healed quickly. They must be given time. In the meantime, we can appreciate the new capacities we are developing, such as the capacity to mourn and the willingness to accept. Let us share our losses and triumphs with each other for that is how we gather courage."

I was astounded when I read this. Hope it helps bring some light to someone's day. This too shall pass. (((((hugs))))
