I just feel like I am a burden to him. And that if I kill myself life would be better for him and me.

For Better or Worse is what most wedding vows state. Not, for better, or -- forget about it. Loving someone enough to stay with them in good times and in bad is about love, and it's never a burden. Killing yourself, would deprive him of you, that would not make his life better.
Pain sucks, especially chronic pain, very few people really understand what chronic pain is all about, unless they are living with it themselves. Support groups, whether online, or live - in living color -- exist for every medical condition known to man, find one for Pancreatitis -- it will help you share your experiences with others and know that you aren't alone. Someone might have found something that works for them.
When someone is told to get over something, it's usually something pretty trivial, ooh they broke a nail, or some such nonsense, you have a serious medical condition, you can't be expected to get over anything - you can, however, live your life. Find something that you enjoy doing, something that can take your mind off your pain for a while.
Appreciate that your husband is sticking with you, I'll bet anything it's not out of pity, or obligation, it's out of love for you. That kind of love is extremely rare and should be celebrated.
