Thank you so much, Dandylion, for this post!
I heard something recently, about how people heal.. how time brings them round to being happier, again. I am terrible with words, or I'd try to relay the message conveyed by that radio show. I think it was a Ted talk.
Anyway, I think your post is a keeper too. I hope that many get to read it, and that they find comfort in this truth.
Thank you, for your always thoughtful, wise and caring posts
