Time Helps Heal

3 years ago my life was changed forever in the way I saw my spouse, my marriage, myself, my life, my children, my friends, my family, my future, my religion and God. For the first time in my life I wasn’t sure what was true, real, or where I was going. I spent a lot of time over processing, rethinking, questioning and crying while I was barely surviving. The truth was practically unbearable but I had to accept my new reality to be able to rationally force a foot in front of me to move forward. I never believed I would ever need to seek safety from the person I had been married to for 21 years. Now knowing he didn’t choose, protect, care about or love me was painful but it was the motivation I needed to move on.

When I was really struggling my therapist would remind me that time helps heal. I wanted to know how long I had to endure everything on my current path. With time new circumstances and consequences to his choices surfaced that were equally as hurtful and in ways I wanted time to just stand still because I almost couldn’t take it anymore.

Now here I am and my therapist was right. Time has truly been a massive part of my healing power. I absolutely love my life and how I value everything so much more.

In working through grief I go back and sit with my weeping discouraged self and comfort her with who I am now. In those moments I didn’t know how I could make it. But now I testify to her that not only do I make it, but things are better than I could have ever imagined. I sit there with the other angels comforting her transferring little bits of energy and hope into her defeated body. I know time will be the difference.

It is my hard work, God, my children, my companion, family and friends that help change everything. I have so much gratitude for my life and the fresh start I get each day.

What healing has time offered for you? What would you go back and say to your past self?
