After experiencing the stinging sensation of true hurt, sometimes it is hard to come to grips with what has just happened to you. That hurt may seem at times to be the death blow, the below the belt hit, or the final nail in the coffin. It feels like you have hit naked rock. The thing that makes the death blow powerful usually isn't the circumstance that you are in, but rather a situation or circumstance that adds to it. Usually it is something that completely blindsides you, totally unexpected. It knocks the wind out of you and leaves you completely stunned.
You may be thinking, what kind of situation or circumstance could possibly deal the death blow? A lot of times, its usually the hurt or disappointment of someone you know and trust letting you down in a situation when you really needed them. We have all been there. Someone tells you that you can depend of them no matter what, through thick and thin. Then you end up in a situation when you need to actually lean on that person, and they run away from you like illegal aliens from immigration. That hurts bad. This is part of the stinging sensation of true hurt, but the beginning of the humbling experience of being broken.
This is the point in life when you realize that you can't truly depend on others or expect them to be there for you when you really need them to be. This is an agonizing hurt and a difficult thing to accept. Family, close friends, church family, will ALL disappoint you sometime in your life, sometimes all at the same time. There are some people who will stick with you through your bad times although they may not always be able to assist you. At some point, you have to make a conscious choice, throw yourself a pity party and give up, or suck it up and move on with your life...
