I think the process of getting over you is a lot like when I stub my toe. First a sharp pain that seems to shoot through my whole being, followed by some cursing, pained expressions, and overall physical and emotional debilitation. Then, the pain spreads and dissipates, leaving a dull ghostly throbbing in its place. The sensation isn't so intense now but all my focus and energy is still on that toe and fervently hoping to forget I ever stubbed it and just go back to the way things were. Then eventually the hurt is manageable enough for me to walk again and I move on with my life.
I'm still waiting to be able to walk again.
