Inevitably, all pain is about longing for yesterdays - whatever we had before, whatever used to be.
But when pain doesn't go away fast enough, we critize ourselves for not getting over it, for not being strong enough, or even for being vulnerable in the first place.

How did the healing come about?
The way wounds heal is a miracle. Inevitably, they heal on their own. All we have to do is not let our hungry egos demand that the pain go away on a certain timetable. We need to have faith that the pain will pass.
After all, pain is an emotion and no emotion stays forever.
