Time Does Not Heal Everything
According to Dr. Phil, time heals nothing. It's not the passage of time; it's what you do with that time. One day of doing the right thing can replace a year of doing the wrong thing. You want to set up your "new normal" realistically and honestly. Don't let yourself spend days and weeks in denial and withdrawal. One day of getting your mind, heart and spirit around the grief can heal so much—it's a matter of when you're ready for that.
