"To hell and back" is common
terminology when we go through an intensely bad experience and are trying to
recover. None of us can actually live in anyone's shoes to feel that intensity.
Though we can try.
To feel someone's pain, agony is an
evidence of very deep soul connections. We don't feel so for everyone and there
is so much misery in this world.
The intense and searing pain that tears us
apart at the suffering or death of a special person can create a hell around us
on a daily basis. This is what depressions are all about. You get up in the
mornings and the first thought is about these souls, that is, if you slept
through the night before. This is true of all traumas that we go through in our
lives at various ages, from rape to betrayals to abject misery and disenchantment.
The biggest service we can provide is to
try and mitigate at least a percentage of that feeling of "hell"
where they live. Even if we can touch one life in this manner.
