Life is tough. And very often we feel disappointed, let down and beat up. Good things can and do happen, but life can throw you a curveball, then a breaker ball, then a drop pitch. You can come to terms with a bad situation only to find another one is hiding right behind it ready to latch on to your heart.

When you read the word "hurt" you immediately think of a situation in your life. In my practice, I watch people hurt. In some situations, hurt is part of the process. I relate "hurt" as a physical feeling to the emotion of grief. I also relate "hurt" as an emotional feeling that can be a response to what someone else said, did, or didn't do.
