Scavenger Hunt: Pain-Something That Causes Pain But Is Not A Person

How do you take a photograph of pain? How can you portray the feeling of your heart breaking or your soul crying? How do you portray the loss of words and the numbness pain can cause in a simple image? I thought about this all week long and wondered how I could express so much emotion, especially without a person as the subject of the photo. I tried my best... Can you feel and see "pain" in this long and weathered staircase? I thought I could, until Friday. Friday I came home and checked my email...Now...Now I feel pain. My dear friend.... I am praying for you.
