When you lose someone you love, that grief never fully heals in this life. If an axe gets stuck in a gash in a tree, it's never going to be the same. But over time the tree, your soul grows over and around the wound. Soon you can only see the axe handle from the outside. Eventually, after years and years, it isn't visible at all; you've grown stronger, and your wound doesn't hurt to the touch. You never forget that it's there, and there may be seasons in your life when it still aches, but you can keep going and be okay.
Revelation 21:4 - "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away."
So what I'm saying is hope in time, not to heal wounds but to teach you how to live with them, and hope in Christ, the great physician.
