There's a threshold of pain, a person loses consciousness in order not to die. And there's a threshold of grief, it suddenly stops hurting. And you feel nothing. Nothing at all.

Mikhail Shishkin
About This Quote

When someone has something really important that they want to accomplish, there is a threshold before they give up. A place that they will not go because it hurts too much to go there. A threshold of pain. This is the point where they are in physical pain, but they are still in their mind.

And when they get to the other side, they are in mental pain, but still in their body. The pain is gone.
