I saw your post on the TPC facebook page and wanted to stop by and share how volunteering had a huge impact for my significant other.
She never let the pain own her, she fought back hard. She refused to give up but there was still something missing in her life.
She found that she was also good at helping other people who lived with pain, like Noki4 mentioned.
I saw such a huge change in her outlook on life. She was smiling more, she would get so excited talking about her volunteer time that she would talk so fast I would have to tell her to slow down.
I do not live with pain, I am her caregiver and partner in life. She lives with pain and I can testify that finding a way to make the pain journey positive was so good for her.
