It's an expression that people use but I feel not an accurate one. Wounds will heal only when you make the decision to let it heal. Some wounds are only surface scratches that we get over easily but others cut right to the depths of everything we believe and trust in. Those are the ones that we have to do a lot of forgiving and soul searching on. Some of those stick with us for ever and we never fully learn to let them go. Often we will see or hear something that triggers these old hurts amd we re-live the pain of them again. Some of us it seems have to understand the purpose behind the hurt before we can move on. We feel we need to have closure and if we can't it stays with us. So ... I would have to say that understanding why a certain thing happened and being able to forgive and close the door on an issue ... not time ... is the factor for wounds healing for a lot of people. We keep searching for an answer that satisfies our questions and until we find an appropriate answer, the wound is always open.

There are some wounds that can never be completely healed, and some people who keep the wounds open one way or another even if they don't know they are doing it. But generally, yes, time passes and if you let it, time can take the sting out of a lot of hurts.
Nine years have passed since I buried my baby girl, and there is a scar, but it doesn't make me cry to think of her any more. It's nearly 5 years since my marriage broke down, and the passing of time has helped to make the pain of that betrayal less. I'm sincerely hoping that the breakup I've just suffered will in time pass into a small ache.

Like all physical wounds, If it doesn't kill you first, it will heal. And the only thing that makes a physical wound kill you is an infection, that applies too. In this case an infection would be bitterness, resentment, hate, depression e.t.c. If you can avoid and/or overcome these, yes, no matter how bad the wound(s), there'll be healing. Like physicall wounds too, the proccess takes time,and unfortunately depending on the depth, the scars will always remain.

Time does heal. Never forget that. No matter how bad you feel. The only hurts that don't heal are those that either you, or someone else keeps opening up again - such as a person who hurts you in some way, and continues to do it. But those hurts like the loss through death or breakups - they will pass and time will heal them just as it heals physical cuts and wounds.

Yes it doe. But the challenge there is how much time you need to heal...
In our journey called life there will always a chance you'd be wounded, that's a fact of life. But make this wounds a reminder for you to go on living and try to be a better person. Always remember there's always a reason why things happen we might not know it at once but later on you'd know it.
Have a nice day and may you heal soon.

No. It heals some wounds, a lot of wounds, in fact...but some wounds will leave a scar...and a scar doesn't hurt anymore...but it never goes away...and depending on how you feel about the scar...you might do things to try to hide it.

Time gives you a chance to look back, see the mistakes and the problems and then the opportunity to make changes. Wounds heal as life moves forward and you learn from your mistakes Lessons are tough sometimes but the enjoyment you receive as you grow and mature is so rewarding. People are sometimes cruel but as time moves forward life works out just as it is suppose to. Sometimes what we want is not what is right at the time, but given an opportunity and a little space, a broken heart can mend and become a healthy vibrant and loving being that learns to forgive and be thankful that the best things in life are not always the things we choose, but those that are chosen for us.

time does not heal all wounds, but after a time u begin to look at the heartbreak i a different way. but first u have to deal with it, accept what has happened, and replace the hurt with something positive in your life. just re focus how u are feeling, get a different attitude. refocus your attention from yourself, and onto others who are hurting is the way to heal.

No, time doesn't heal anything--it really doesn't....time simply allows more things to happen in your life...bigger things, different things, happier things, sadder things...and it puts your "wounds" in perspective....
For me, my dad has been gone for 8 years now...and it hurt like it would never stop when he first died (I was only 16 at the time)...and even now, 8 years later...something will hit me like a sock to the stomach...and it will hurt again...but just for a bit...because the wonderful things, like my husband and my family, the places I have been and seen...the things I have accomplished that I know he would be proud of....those serve to soften the blow....and I take a deep breath and move forward....

Yes, Yes, Yes. My husband left me. It was so sudden and unexpected. I hurt for so long...I actually thought I would die and the depression was so great. I know I would never get over it. After the hurt and pain, there was anger. It took some time (1 year) and to my surprise I got over it. I am a living witness that time heals all.
