Time heals all wounds.

This was a good two days off and back to work today. I'm slowly getting myself together. I miss her and still can't believe that she's gone. I'm doing my best to be sociable on here and find friends to chat with now and then. I had a pen pal back in the day before the internet.

My wife passed away 8 years ago yesterday and it still hurts, I sat down and looked at some pictures of her over the years and I cried 😭 and the emotions were as real and raw as the day she died. Time only eases the pain but doesn't erase it.

@cd4259 Right there with you.

I do have to, respectfully of course, disagree that time heals all wounds. Time may fade the memory of how much it hurts but if, in a moment of your guard being down a stray memory runs through your mind every ounce of that pain comes back in an instant. Thats how it is for me anyway.

@Deceased Yes there will always be a scar after the healing. This is still fresh for me so I don't know how long this awful feeling will last. I've been told that 20 years down the road it will come back and hit you.

Very sorry for your loss. In my experience, time really does not heal all wounds but what you do with the time can make it more bearable to live with them.

So sorry to hear that there is still a hole in your life. Time does heal.

paulisretired · 51-55, M

@novaguy2u For me this is still fresh.

I agree, it does heal all wounds whether its physical mental or emotional

@Hanginginthere Not true. Time does not heal the pain of grieving the loss of a soul mate. It subsides a little but never goes away.

Hanginginthere · 31-35, M

@Gibbon of course you pick an extreme circumstance 🙄 you lame.

Gibbon · 70-79, M

@Hanginginthere it's not extreme. It's an event everyone with a deeply loved partner will experience in their lifetime.
