Time alone does not heal everything, but it does offer a kind of space that hard moments cannot always provide on their own. A perspective that feels impossible today can shift, slowly, given enough time and the right support alongside it. This can start in a small way and still make a real difference.

This is not a suggestion to simply wait things out passively. Time works best when it is paired with care, connection, and small deliberate steps forward. Together, these elements can turn the passing of time into genuine healing rather than mere endurance. It is worth remembering that support like this exists precisely for moments like this one.

If you need support while that time passes, it is there for you. The Suicide Call Back Service is available on 1300 659 467, and Lifeline can be reached at any hour on 13 11 14. This is something worth returning to, even after a setback or a difficult stretch.
