And with the passage of time. The greater the grief the more time must pass. I don’t know if the grief actually lessens or psychic scar tissue builds up to dull the pain.

I think the latter. You’re forced to build up strength to cope. It doesn’t go away. I guess it helps to take it easy on each other.
Sometimes sorrow is only erased in the next life, “Where He will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
Grief eases because God is merciful.
Sorrows are exchanged for rejoicing and mother’s who suffered extreme labor soon rejoiced at the creation laid upon her breast.
So too with the passing of our life on earth. We suffer only to rejoice as our lives have been found worthy to hang on our crosses in a unity unparalleled, since it’s the creator that our sufferings are fixed too.
As we are birthed into eternity we rejoice as we see finally our mother Mary who stayed with us at each of the stations of our cross.
We are her child too.
