There are so many phrases talking about time.  “Time flies when your having fun”, “time seems to drag on” and the one I seem to hear a lot in the last 3 years ” time heals all wounds”.   I agree with the first two but the last one gets me everytime.  I don’t think time can really ever heal a heart wound, the kind you have when someone you love dies.  My mind stays in protection mode most of the time.  I compare my wound to a scab…when it gets knocked off, it bleeds.  Now, the bleeding doesn’t last as long, but it still bleeds.  Time makes things different, but diffently doesn’t heal it.   My heart wound is deep.  My husband often talks about the separation we have felt after loosing Blake.  We long to hear his laughter and see his smiling face, and oh how I miss those blue eyes he had.  Some people think you move on with life.  Life does move on, whether we want it to or not…but there will always be that empty chair at the table.  We will never stop missing him or talking about the sweet memories we have made.  I’m so thankful I know where he is and I will get to see him again one day.   Life here on earth is temporary….Heaven is forever!!

Rose Kennedy said  “It has been said, ‘time heals all wounds.’  I do not agree.  The wounds remain.  In time, the mind protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens.  But it is never gone.”   This explains exactly how I feel and probably how anyone that’s lost someone they love feels.  Thank you Rose Kennedy for those profound words of wisdom!!

“He heals the broken-hearted and binds up their wounds.”  Psalm 147:3
