time heals all
Pain eventually passes
Time heals all is usually short for "time heals all wounds"—the idea that emotional pain diminishes with the passage of time.
The saying offers consolation to the grieving or heartbroken: Give it a few months. Time heals all.
Often used skeptically or with qualification: They say time heals all, but I'm not so sure.
