How do you respond to suffering? We all react in different ways. A friend of mine is a self-confessed 'hermit' and hides herself away, I tend to sleep alot. Maybe it depends on the type of suffering. Maybe it depends on the type of person. 

Ed Sheeran is one of the biggest pop artists of the 21st century. Since rising to fame in 2011 at the age of 20, he’s already topped the UK charts 14 times – that’s just three times less than the Beatles did.

Recently, Ed’s suffering has been on display to a watching world. In the space of a month in February 2022, he was embroiled in a three-week court case, his pregnant wife, Cherry, was diagnosed with cancer, and then his best friend Jamal Edwards (who helped him launch his career) passed away.
