One thing I know for sure and hold without doubt is that time heals physical wounds but does not heal emotional wounds.
The key to living a good life, which is living in the present, is using the ability to heal one’s own emotional wounds. You can’t ignore them and you can’t just say, “I forgive and forget.” You must process the action that caused the pain: Analyze it; figure out the why; connect it to your own actions or inactions; accept it; own it; then express your gratitude for the life lesson.
If you can’t figure your pain out then you will be forced to relive the pain over and over until you can figure it out. And don’t think for one second that death resolves anything. Life lessons continue for eternity because life is eternal and our bodies have nothing to do with that.
