Time heals wounds, but scars remain from "summary" of I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy
When life throws you a curveball, it's tempting to believe that time will eventually make everything better. But what people often fail to realize is that even though time can heal wounds, it doesn't erase the scars left behind. It's like a painting that has been damaged – you can try to restore it, but the cracks will always be visible. In her raw and poignant memoir, Jennette McCurdy explores this idea through her own personal journey of grief and loss. She vividly describes the pain of losing her mother at a young age and the long and arduous process of coming to terms with her absence. McCurdy's honest and unfiltered writing lays bare the harsh reality that time doesn't necessarily make the pain go away; it merely dulls the ache to a more bearable level. As McCurdy recounts her struggles and triumphs in the aftermath of her mother's death, she paints a vivid picture of the emotional scars that linger long after the wounds have healed. She describes how certain triggers – a familiar scent, a favorite song, a fleeting memory – can reopen those wounds and bring back the pain with a force that is just as raw as it was in the beginning. Through her poignant storytelling, McCurdy reminds us that the healing process is not linear – it's messy, unpredictable, and often painful. She eloquently captures the complexity of grief and the ways in which it can shape and reshape our lives over time. And while the wounds may eventually close, the scars they leave behind serve as a reminder of the pain we have endured and the strength we have gained. McCurdy's powerful message resonates with anyone who has experienced loss and understands the bittersweet truth that time may soften the edges of our pain, but it can never erase the indelible marks left on our hearts. In the end, it is our scars that make us who we are – a testament to the battles we have fought and the resilience we have discovered along the way.
