("I know now that we never get over great losses; we absorb them and they carve us into different, often kinder, creatures."
Gail Caldwell)

“You will lose someone you can’t live without, and your heart will be badly broken, and the bad news is that you never completely get over the loss of your beloved. But this is also the good news. They live forever in your broken heart that doesn’t seal back up. And you come through. It’s like having a broken leg that never heals perfectly—that still hurts when the weather gets cold, but you learn to dance with the limp.”
― Anne Lamott

(Or, worse yet, "well I got over it, so what's his/her problem?!")
You never get over it, you only learn to live with it, and time dulls the pain to an extent, and, hopefully, the painful past experience makes the person more compassionate...
