Anything but Numb
The earthly mind would say it would be easier to not experience pain or discomfort of any sort. I know that is part of life and really living. Now is experiencing separation "really living"? It's incredibly painful but it is something is true and concrete in a world that is full of whatever feels good is best. Hear me. It doesn't make it easy but who said easy is always right? How come when we watch movies like Braveheart we cheer at his courage for dying for freedom? Because at the core of the human life we know that that is "really living".
How you feel doesn't make God real or not and what you go through doesn't reflect on his goodness. Romans 8: "28And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."
If you want to live life to the fullest, try a Christ-centered life. You will have the highest highs and some painful lows but that's life. It will be the best and you won't regret a moment.
Blessings,
