Travail is a natural part of birth. So it is with spiritual re-birth. It begins with bitterness - with a deep realization that our framework, our actions, our intents are flawed. We see the need for something new and we swallow down the bitter cup, believing in the thing we can't yet see. It's like eating dandelions: bitter to the taste, but good for you. And if you persist through the pain, eventually, something new is born out of suffering: a new you.
