In Case You Need This: Thought You Were Over It and You're Not? It's Okay If It Still Hurts

from The Life Shift | Conversations About Life Before and After · host Matt Gilhooly

Healing isn’t linear. Just when you think you’ve moved on – from heartbreak, betrayal, or someone who broke your trust – something small can bring it all back. A song, a post, a memory. And suddenly you're asking yourself, “Why does this still hurt?” That doesn't mean you’re broken. It means you cared. It means you trusted. And it hurt. This short reflection reminds us that healing has no perfect timeline. Even if it’s been months or years, it’s okay if the sting still shows up. It doesn’t mean you’re stuck – it means you’re still healing. If an old wound is still lingering, this is your permission slip to feel it without shame, to honor the ache without rushing it away.
