2. laborious; exacting; difficult: a painful life.
3. Archaic . painstaking; careful.
We've all heard that "Pain is mandatory. Suffering is optional." Lately, I heard a new one. A gal was telling me how she had been so worried that the pain would worsen to the point that she would just loose it; but she said that ended up not being the case at all for her. She told me it didn't become more painful, just more intense. There is a difference, and as labor is as much, if not more mental than physical, I think it's important to understand the difference. I highlighted my favorite parts. Hope it helps you.
