time heals all wounds
Pain fades eventually
Time heals all wounds is a proverb meaning that emotional pain fades with the passage of time.
Grief, heartbreak, and betrayal feel less acute as months and years pass: Give it time—time heals all wounds.
The saying offers comfort but invites skepticism; some wounds leave permanent scars, and the phrase can feel dismissive when offered too soon after loss.
