Chapter 7: Healing
Healing Takes Time.  The Body Heals, The Heart Heals, but only
With Time.  Over Time Everything Heals.  Shakespeare wrote,
"What Wound did ever heal, but by degrees?"  Sometimes we don't know
what to do.  We feel lost.  But Putting one foot in front of another will heal you.
One moment at a time, will restore your broken heart.  Time heals all things.
And there are so many ways to heal.  Food heals.  Sleeping heals.  Long Walks
alone or with someone you love heals.  Crying heals.  Buying things heals.
Buy yourself something you've always wanted, if something bad has happened.
Treat yourself to ice cream cones, and share them with your family.  They probably like
ice cream cones too.  When I am sad, I call up my grandmother and we go shopping or pull
weeds or drink tea or eat or just talk on the phone.  Mostly, we jusst talk about the pain.
So many countless hours, she has soothed my broken hearts.  There is alot of pain in life,
but only time can get you past the painful parts of life.  your heart wants to heal, like your body.
And You Will.  Believe That you Will Heal.  You Will. Heal. In your own time, in your own ways,
to come up and bloom like a flower on a stem.  Find it in you to grow and soothe those scars.  Heal yourself by being gentle to yourself.  love yourself.  And Heal others.  Heal one another.  Pain is very real.  it is a part of life.  Pain is real, but so, too, is the overcoming of suffering.  In Jesus' Name, Amen.
