For most of us, some pain and suffering are a part of life.  We will explore what pain and suffering mean in three different religious traditions, and what ways each religion suggests for coping.  Hinduism, Judaism, and a personal story from Quakerism will be presented.

Sarah Whitman is a psychiatrist who specializes in chronic pain management.  She works with patients with chronic physical pain to help them cope with pain and live fully despite pain.  She has a special interest in spirituality related to pain and suffering.
