Yes, transforming is a great word to describe this... I remember the first time it happened for us. It was an out of this world experience, because it was more than sharing the pain. It was healing... as a matter of fact, I think it defined what we have now. In the last couple of years since we've known each other, I have come to know a type of experiencing pain that I now understand as his -I did not always know, it was confirmed repeatedly though and associated with a specific type of pain he has to go through. And I too, sometimes, feel he does the same for me.
