So maybe it'll never heal completely. Maybe you'll forever hate those people who took your vulnerability and used it to shatter you. But maybe you'll think about it, talk about it, write about it so much that eventually, it stops aching. You don't get so angry anymore, this time doesn't hurt quite as bad as last time. And maybe once it stops throbbing and aching, your heart will forgive them just enough that your soul can find peace with them once more.
