Time Heals ? Or time brings the ability to cope with grief?

As I said it would have been Dad’s birthday yesterday, although time heals the pain the sense of loss remains deep inside. I am so proud of mum who has never had much confidence, she has rebuilt her life in a way that Dad would have been proud. You can see in her eyes the pain, on days like yesterday and yet the determination that she will value her life closely, as she knows how much my sister and I love her.
They say time heals, I wonder if heals is the right phrase? Time brings the ability to cope but I am not sure
that pain heals. I still miss Dad, each and every day. The difference that time has brought for me, is that I am glad that I miss him…I have found a happiness that he was my dad, that I had him in my life, rather than thinking about the loss.
Grief is hard, coping with bereavement is never easy….but I think we should always remember the joy, the laughter, the luck that we felt that love, love that the world needs.
