In Love In Pain

"In love with pain" is a journey through an impetuous tempest of a broken heart, mended within ink in the form of short and long poems. A journey of two strangers, the writer and the reader, filled with words of love, pain, anger and passion.

Addresses the limits in treating pain psychoanalytically, and offers a phenomenological description of psychic pain, particularly the pain of a lost loved one.

What began as a road trip throughout the Southwest became an unimaginable journey for author Lynn Jaffee. While traveling through Colorado, a call from her son Andrew changed the course of the trip and her life. He was 27, living nearby and had just been diagnosed with terminal cancer. Love Pain tells the story of a young man who is finding himself just as his life is being cut short, and a mother who is coming to the realization that she is losing her son. A simple road trip became an epic journey of the soul. Set against the backdrop of tragic loss, the vignettes in Love Pain tell the story of travel, small miracles and finding strength. Love Pain is a book that will stay with you long after you've finished the last page.

An extraordinary new mindful approach to healing after loss that taps into everyone’s ability to continue their relationship with those who have passed. “Marilyn’s vast and masterful experience in communicating with passed loved ones illustrate what they want to teach us.”—Betty Jampel, LCSW When Marilyn Kapp was two years old, she watched her grandfather leave his body. He told her he would be back and he was true to his word. When Marilyn realized that others did not share her perception of the spiritual plane, she kept her channeling abilities to herself and her family. This changed when, as a college student, she met writer, Holocaust survivor, and future Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel. He became her mentor and encouraged her to use her perception to help others. In Love Is Greater Than Pain, Marilyn shares her profound understanding of the afterlife. Today a renowned medium, Marilyn reveals the beauty in the transition from the physical to the spiritual plane, helping those who are dying, as well as those left behind. With personal stories and transcripts from channeling sessions, Marilyn teaches us how to interact with the afterlife and to joyfully embrace the reality that love truly is greater than pain. Marilyn shares universal messages of comfort, forgiveness, and understanding, including specific guidance for bereaved parents, for those dealing with dementia, and even for people who are grieving for their animal friends. Marilyn’s groundbreaking seminal work offers practical advice, clear takeaways, and a new approach to death, grieving, and living your best life, sharing concrete steps for: • Raising your personal vibration to increase health, joy, and the ability to receive channeled information and love. • Helping yourself and others honor life while grieving. • Understanding the parallel process of growth that we share with those who have passed. When we honor life as we grieve, we offer healing and support to one another, as well as conscious collaboration with those who have passed.

In love In Pain reveals the strange, but so true correlation between love and pain. Being in love is associated with happiness and joy in the normal scheme of things. But in reality, there is often times so much pain associated with loving someone unconditionally. This book addresses the many sources of pain associated with loving. The pain of lies, deceit, disappointment, discovery, and the very harsh pain of being forced to accept reality instead of the perfect fantasy relationships we dream up for ourselves.In Love in Pain is a study of how women behave in relationships. It takes a candid look at the destructive behaviors women adopt while trying to find and maintain love. It is the rational mind in touch with the emotions of a woman. It is a candid look at how willing they are to give away parts of themselves to keep or attract men that if women truly are healthy they would not tolerate. The book reads like a suspense/romance novel style. But can serve as an personal examination and inventory that each woman can use to evaluate her life. Each story is a fictionalized depletion of a real life scenario. Where a woman finds herself faced with important decisions that will affect and effect her life and relationships. The stories of In Love In Pain are not designed to focus on men and how they treat women, but on how the woman's behavior, the woman's decisions and response to the stimuli created by love or obsession affects her life and her relationships. Each woman in the stories had to make decisions about how she would pilot her own life and how she would determine when it was appropriate for her to cut her losses and come to grips with a relationship where the love is overshadowed by the pain. The primary focus: how each woman responds to what she perceives as love and how she behaves in order to try to keep that love. In Love In Pain reveals the hard part of relationships and how women in love will put themselves in physical, emotional, spiritual and physical danger to keep the facade of a relationship that is not nourishing, supportive or fulfilling. Caitlyn, Dedra, Yasmine, Marva and Sherese are in love. Each one has some heavy decisions regarding that love. Can love conquer all things? Will Caitlyn's love be able to overcome her husband's second family? Is Dedra's love enough to endure a prison term? Will Yasmine's love be enough for her and her husband? Will Marva and Sherese's love overcome a con artist and lazy man? These women are faced with hard decisions but they don't have to face them alone.Each character has a pot on the stove boiling and it's about to boil over. Caitlyn finds out that everything she thought was her own is not, Dedra realizes that if loving her baby daddy is wrong she finally wants to be right. Yasmine understands that love must be a two-way street, while Marva's heart unfortunately cashes a check one too many times for her husband and Sherese can't see the gift in her situation.If the truth be known, what many if not most of the characters are looking for is not love, but rather, an in-love experience and that is exactly what they got. But they stayed too long and that experience turned to pain.Women when you finish reading it. Conveniently lay it around so that your man will pick it up. This book holds a very special message for men and women.I recently read this book and I would recommend this book to anyone who has loved someone too much only to find out they were not worthy of you. I went away from this book with a sense of hope and understanding of why people stay. The characters are people we know and love and in the best of trying to be there can be difficult and painful to watch. The author manages to give realistic outcomes for her characters. My hope is when you read this book you will know that you are not alone and there is help out there if you are willing to ask and accept it.
