I would have to say that being with a man that abused me all the time. One day he threw me to the floor and choked me until I passed out and I thought I was dead. I had 2 children with him and they watched him do this to me. I realized at that point if I wanted to see my children grow up I had to get away from this man. I got up the courage and left once I woke up from being passed out. I never had the courage to leave this man before that day and I was abused for many years but I always feared that he would kill me if I left. I then realized that he was going to kill me if I stayed. I could not let my children grow up with out their mother.

When I found out that my husband of 19 years had been having numerous affairs and was not in love with me anymore.
It literally almost killed me... but now 3 years later, I am such a different person. I am stronger, more vulnerable, more compassionate, and happier.
But it has taken a long time to get here.. baby steps forward and back.
I guess truely, there is no real growth without pain.

No pain is a small pain...it depend on person to person....if some one lose his love one like mother or father or best friend..whom he was depending is the most pain full experience and it might help him to be on his own and get mature...for some people if they lost their one job or business and after suffering they go for something more better...,,it all depends on ure personal approach..i don't thing their is any hard and fast rule....

All painful experiences can help us grow if we approach them the right way. If we learn from our mistakes, then we grow. If we continue to make the same mistakes, we go the opposite way and don't grow.
You are able to help others when you have gone through what they are now experiencing. Helping others by supporting them, letting them know times will get better, relaying your experience to show them they are not alone all helps others.
When we grow, we learn what and what not to do again--if we are wise. And we pass it along to others who need it.

When I found out my fiancee had leukemia. Her name was Aubry. She told me I didn't have to marry her anymore... The problem is that I truly loved her so much, and I wanted her to be happy. So, I married her anyways. We had three wonderful years together, we traveled the world, before she died last fall. I was holding her hand when it happened. That was one of the most painful moments of my life... She said "I'll see you again." before she closed her eyes for the last time. Ultimately, she made me a stronger person. She was always the stronger one.
