When you find out something that hurts you, you don't just feel it physically. You feel it everywhere in your body. It consumes you.

You feel your heart turn into stone and the sharp pains in your chest.
You feel the hollowness in your stomach and your chest closing in.
You feel like you're drowning 'cause you can't breathe, gasping for air.

It feels like you're dying.
And honestly, a part of you does.
