For some people time helps to cope with different situations. We never forget but we learn how to cope and that eases some of the sorrow. Continued reliance on God's word the Bible also is a binding force which helps mend our broken hearts. Such is the case when we read Psalms 147:3, and 34:18. Also when we think of the wonderful hope of the resurrection found in John 5:28,29 our hearts are filled with hope!
