"We tell ourselves stories in order to live." - Joan Didion
If you are a person with pain or know someone who lives with pain, we invite you to write a few paragraphs about your experience with pain and share your story. If you are able, we ask you to write how you have learned to triumph over your pain. Please include any words of support, hope and encouragement you wish to convey to others.
APF reserves the right to edit all stories submitted. Unfortunately, we are unable to print all stories that are received. If your story is selected, we will only use your first name and no contact information will be published. We may also use photos or selected quotes from any story submitted to us for use in other APF publications or in any current or future media.
