We often believe healing begins when we finally understand what happened, or when we receive the apology. Maybe you’re waiting for the truth to come to light or for justice to be served. Maybe you’re trying to make sense of the ending and why things happened the way they did.
But what if waiting for closure is the very thing keeping us emotionally tied to the past?
The truth is, most of us never get all those questions answered. I’ve learned that closure is best when we give it to ourselves.
On the newest episode of She Saves Herself Podcast I speak with bestselling author and healer Amy B. Scher to talk about one of the most misunderstood aspects of healing: our need to make sense of experiences that may never fully make sense.
Drawing from her own profound experiences with grief, loss, chronic illness, and the inspiration behind her beautiful debut novel, The Unexpected Afterlife of Sloane Rose, Amy offers a new perspective on what it means to move forward when certainty remains out of reach.
Together, we talk about why healing is not the result of finally finding every answer, but of slowly rebuilding trust in ourselves. And how the power of creativity can help us make sense of pain and turn it into a deeper purpose with passion.
We discuss the psychology of closure, why our minds become fixated on unanswered questions, how creativity becomes a powerful companion through grief, and what post-traumatic growth can look like when we stop waiting for life to resolve itself before we allow ourselves to begin living again.
So if you’re ready to move on from the past, and want closure, we can help.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
- Why our brains search for closure after loss, betrayal, and heartbreak—and why we often never receive it.
- The difference between understanding your experience and becoming emotionally free from it.
- Why self-forgiveness is often more transformative than forgiving the people who hurt us.
- How creativity, storytelling, and imagination can become unexpected pathways toward healing.
- What it means to trust yourself when life no longer follows the story you imagined.
- How to embrace uncertainty without allowing it to define your future.
- Why some of life’s deepest wounds can become the foundation for profound personal growth.
If you’ve been waiting for an explanation before allowing yourself to move forward, I hope this conversation offers something even more meaningful than answers.
I hope it reminds you that healing is not found in certainty. It is found in the quiet moment you decide to trust yourself enough to take the next step, even when some questions remain unanswered.
