Just today, I had a long phone conversation with Ms. Wonka because I wanted to confer with her on a particular matter that she's a noted expert nationally.
It was the FIRST time ever since she left that we talked like two colleagues....it flowed naturally. We even laughed hard at one point when a joke came up about one of her particular weaknesses.
All of that ^^ was made possible with time and space that healed wounds. I didn't feel tension nor did Ms. Wonka. Will we ever be friends? That is the million-dollar question.
My point is that it DOES get better with the passage of time.
I was in a painful place for almost 5 years post Ms. Wonka.
Some people move and process at different paces. There's no 'right' or 'wrong' about this healing process.
