It can be hard though, living in constant pain, and I know my pain is better than other people's. I can still work and such. <br /><br />I think I'll always have reasons to live, but I'm resigned to the fact that I'll have pain foreverChaosMandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10603264009418103606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7203020133096090147.post-43190080481608827152013-09-20T22:16:44.739-07:002013-09-20T22:16:44.739-07:00Can *know* not can *knows*.Can *know* not can *knows*.Carmencitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04046892411240707969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7203020133096090147.post-11020071197925916972013-09-20T22:15:29.850-07:002013-09-20T22:15:29.850-07:00Thank you for posting this.

I'm not absolutely sure but there was no cause of death announced, and his friends are talking about him as though he committed suicide. I didn't know him incredibly closely, but I saw him every time we worked a concert and spoke with him regularly. I took his presence in my life for granted.<br /><br />I remember reading about how cluster headaches are also called suicide headaches because of the agonizing pain and lack of relief. I understand the desire to end suffering but I feel that nobody can knows what happens after death. What if the physical and emotional pain is untouched and unalleviated after death? It's a big wager.<br /><br />I hope you always have wonderful reasons to live, and I hope that some day soon, being pain-free is one of them.
