Time heals your DWI convictions.

Time does heal divorces and such but not the death of a loved one, especially one lost way too soon.

Correct. Time doesn't heal it. Time just makes you learn how to live with that gaping hole.

I remember a quote about this I think it was in Supernatural.

“For a long time it’ll be the first thing you think of when you wake up in the morning, then all of a sudden one day it’ll be the 2nd thing”

That’s just as wrong. Time does indeed dull the pain of emotional loss most of the time. Apparently some people have trauma that never gets better. That has never happened to me. I lost mom and dad, and I grieved for days. It’s been about 10 years since mom passed, and 20 years for dad. I go a full week without thinking of them sometimes. I’d say time healed those wounds.

Heals.....no. But the pain and grief become less overwhelming.

Agreed. You just learn how to numb the pain. It is still there just as strong but you know how to compartmentalize it.


My dad died in Sept last year way too early and I think about him daily. I saved all his voicemails from the time I found out he was sick and I haven’t been able to listen to them except for the other day where I accidentally played one. I cried like I did the day he died.

It is a somewhat trite thing to volunteer to someone but there is truth in it. Healing takes time but it takes other things as well and those are different for everyone. And scars happen even with healing. Oftentimes those scars still hurt even years later.

Also, there is no shame in seeking professional help, when dealing with tragic losses.
