... What about for the 'winner'?
Pain is hard and feels like you're in infinite fires of torment, but one day, you'll wake up and think to yourself, wow this is a different day, and I feel.. nothing. All the angst and kicking in the teeth - gone.
But also helps if you have other things, important things that take your attention so that the wounds heal up considerably quicker over time.
And you grow, and you feel like a change, like a new day, a new season, a new year.
We don't forget but we can look back with some fondness for the person we were and how we acted, and making a connection to our present selves, usually couldn't be more different than back then.
