Emotional and physical pain: Getting out of bed feels impossible

Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional. It’s a mantra Priscilla wholly believes.

Living with chronic physical pain. The grief of losing a loved one. The breakdown of a marriage. When daily tasks became insurmountable and life overwhelming, Priscilla couldn’t see a way through. But in adversity, she has come to understand that while pain is inevitable, she does have control over how she handles it.

This episode is about finding purpose through pain.
