The phrase "time heals all wounds" has a lot of weight, but it's more complex than it appears.

While time does not always eliminate grief, it does allow us to process and adapt to the loss. When you lose someone you love, the initial grieving might feel overwhelming, as if a part of you has died as well. There is a profound grief and an overwhelming sense of emptiness.

However, over time, you begin to find ways to cope with the suffering, not because it has vanished but because you have learned to bear it. You may cry less, the restlessness softens, and while it never completely disappears — it becomes bearable. Eventually, you may discover moments of serenity, recalling your loved one with a bittersweet smile instead of tears.

In that sense, time does not heal as we would like — it does not eliminate the pain — but it helps us with the ability to cope with it. Grief has no end date, but it evolves, becoming something we learn to accept as part of our life — still painful but bearable.

In time, we discover strength in the most unlikely places. Healing is a process. It isn't linear; everyone's experience is different.

I'm obsessed with Carol Danvers. She's socially awkward. She's a war criminal. She's a cat mom. She's a Disney princess. She hates everything. She could beat the shit out of everyone. She's 60. She's half alien. She's a comedian. She's in a glass closet. She's a girlboss. She's a girlfail. She's everything to me.
