Sufferings of Love

Heartache arising from disappointments associated with unrequited love; sorrow resulting from the upheavals of love.

("Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi said: All sufferings that come upon a person and prevent him from words of Torah are sufferings of rebuke. But sufferings that come upon a person and do not prevent him from words of Torah are sufferings of love, as it is written (Proverbs 3): 'for the Lord reproves the one He loves'" - Genesis Rabbah (Vilna), Parashat Miketz, section 95)
