I've had that feeling many times over the past several months. For me, it was brought on by grieving the loss of my marriage and my wife falling for someone else.

I've worked many different jobs in heavy construction and have endured countless injuries. Some areas of my body have more scar than skin. But I've never felt a pain as terrible as this. It grips my chest, shuts off my throat and fills my eyes with tears all in an instant.

I was recently sitting with W to talk over some of the logistics of what we're going through and this pain attacked me. I became unable to think or speak. It was horrifying...

I'm so sorry to hear that others have to experience this, too. I wish I could take it away from each of you and carry the burden for you. I can't imagine it would hurt any worse than it already has.
