Musleh Khan – Time Doesn’T Always Heal Grief

			One thing, one phrase that is very common is that when we tell somebody Time will heal, does that
sound familiar? Time will heal. There's one thing that very often, we don't talk about or don't
mention, along with this phrase. And that is, there's no guarantee.
		

			Time will heal. But there's no guarantee. In sha Allah, we're hopeful time will heal.
		

			But then again,
		

			some of you here, you lost someone when you were a child, for our elders, your parents, when you
think back 3040 60 years ago, how your mom used to, you know, cook or feed you or care for you.
You'll see visions, you'll be lost, you'll be sitting drinking coffee or something. And all of a
sudden you start thinking about your dad, how hard he worked to support you. how hard he worked to
give you the families the best that he could do. Then you think about your siblings, those that are
with you, but also those that have passed. Then you think about those who are close to you friends,
families, relatives. Now these people have passed away ages ago. But when you sit and think about
		

			them and you get lost in that, what happens to you, your eyes start to welled up with tears. You
start talking about I always remember how my mom would smell she had this beautiful fragrance about
her only mom had that. And you start remembering these intimate details and what happens to you, you
start to lose the control of your emotion. What we learn from this area brothers and sisters
		

			is that it's okay to cry.
		

			It's okay to express that kind of emotion.
		

			And again, it's different for everyone. For some time doesn't heal. As a matter of fact, for some
time makes it even more difficult. As time progresses I find it even more hard
