In the process of emotional or even physical healing, the one aspect you absolutely need is time. Sure, other things will help and make the process a little less painful(although the phrase "no pain, no gain" cannot be forgotten). Without allowing for time, you can never heal. Everything else that feels necessary, those are just catalysts for the process. Love, therapy, medicine, dialogue...
Time can be a test in your process though, and you need certain things to withstand that test. Emotional strength, patience, trust, an outlet or someone to confide in are things to help you survive the time it takes for healing. You need to be able to remain stable emotionally and mentally, you need to let the time go by and relax, you need to trust that healing will come. Your outlet or source of confidence can be a pen and piece of paper, prayer, even your cat if you don't have anyone to talk to. Bottling up emotions over time is counter-productive to the time given for healing.
Even if it seems like the healing will never be complete, and you will never be ok, be patient and strong. Time will bring peace and healing.
