Like old saying, "Time will heal all the wounds." I believe so. As time goes along, many of our wounds, not physically I emphasized here, emotionally, would healed, and you might find happiness again. But how long usually it takes? To get happy again, you have to help yourself too. Aceept the help of your friends and family members; participating healthy activities; eat and drink healthily. You gradually will forget your wounds. This method might take shorter time period to heal rather than doing nothing at all.

Hi clorissa Everyday is a healing process. When you wake up in the morning, when you compare with the day before, it would be a better day and sooner or later you will be healed entirely. It depends on the situation. Thanusha

Time will heal all the wounds but what if this wound is caused by your loved ones how do you overcome this. Do you look at it as not being that it is them who has infected this wound but knowing that you are living in a natural world with spiritual elements so you forgive them and move on. Suppose it is one that is continuing happening in your life what would you do then. Happiness is within you but when one is living with unhealed wound all his/her life what do you say to this someone. I have forgiven all that has cause my wounds but I never solicit this with help from my family members instead I seek to be more active with knowing strangers who eventually becomes my friend. As the bible says in 1 Cor 10:13 No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it. Have a nice day.

Happiness is a state that you decide yourself with spiritual help. Silence and retreat from the material world does help a lot. The pains becomes a scar in your heart and hatred is produced. When one has reach the state of hatred, then you are lucky! Self-pitying comes then with hatred. Acceptance of the fact, without blaming yourself and others. Not to feel good is a good start! Emotional wounds are healed. Pray and ask help from God to lead you to the path which God chooses not your choice and in His own time, not yours. All of us goes through a lot of pains in life. These are blessings from God for a reason. Be happy with all the colorful trials we go through. Otherwise life is not worth living!

I believe that the recovery and healing process differs for different people. The kind of situation a person has undergone is also a factor to be considered. In my case, it took half a year before I got over the person. However, I think it's still hard to admit it to myself that I somehow still feel something towrds that person - it's not love, though. After what happened, my love for him - at least that's what I kept telling myself - was gone, because hatred and anger took place. And then annoyance, and pity. To get over him, I surrounded myself with friends and people who love me. I started to be active again. I looked, and fortunately, landed on a good job with good people to work with. Eventually, love found me again, and thank God for I know that HE paired me up with a person who loves me very much and who I love with all of my heart, too. (We're actually on our fifth year together and we're getting married next year!) ^_^

Depends on what wounds you're referring to. For physical wounds it depends on how superficial or how huge and infected the wound be. Usually for minor ones, it takes only 3 days to heal. But seriously, you're trying to pinpoint emotional or psychological wounds? Yeah indeed, for me time heals all wounds, but at times you have to face the problem and fix it right away instead of waiting on time, because sometimes time can get back at you. I mean it may grow bigger and deeper you would eventually ending up just being numb and not really healed! Ciao!

I do believe that "Time will heal wounds" as time pass'd away. These needs comfort and aide by others as per time runs. But, theres a possibility to bleed again, like some physical wounds, you might think its healed but deep inside its not. Side effects will came out and still there. For me..it takes much time to heal emotional wounds. Its all in our mind. You can forget it, but you can't erase it.

Like you said it goes gradually with the help of friends and families, I would like also to add a bit on that we can heal wounds at the right time when regain ourselves with God and giving those bitterness to Him, start living like a new day and begin a new beginning. We all go through this but if we have a positive outlook in life, we would be able to repair those wounds eventually.

Hi there , Yup its painfull the first few days when we are hurt by someone ,it feels as if the pain is usually going to last forever and ever. But it also depends on ,to what extent you are hurt by others ,,especially by near and dear ones... or the one we trust the most..these kind of people hurt the most and it takes a longer time than usual to come out of it . Anyways the best ways to forget it sooner is by talking over the problem to the ones whom we trust and who can give solutions to our problem that is hurting us... Cheers !

well i think that one is surrounded by happiness and sadness all the times . since this has happened to me i can tell u .for me im unhappy sometimes when i think about the one whom i love the most, but she has not talked to me from many days .also at sometimes i fell very happy when i talk to my friend who has supported me in all those unhappy times , so i think that one can always live between happiness and sadness . and as for as time is concerned about healing the wounds i agree with u .

You are so right,when you are surrounded by people who are willing to pull you up there will be no problem in healing all your "wounds".For me,it took only 3 months(to accept the help)and until now I'm still healing.I think,for me to completely heal,I need to change location so I won't see the people and places that will open the wound again.Unfortunately I have to endure this for a little bit longer.In time I will be able to say that I'm healed.
