There's no magic pill that'll make the pain go away, that's for sure. But every time this topic is mentioned I am reminded of a spoken word poem that I think is beautiful: "When Love Arrives" by Sarah Kay and Phil Kaye. Dunno if you're the poetry type, but I really recommend you listen, because they deliver the message more beautifully than I ever could.
