Preferred term

healing  

Definition

  • Healing is the act of repairing or mending, be it tangible or intangible, visible or invisible, over a period of time, whether so lengthy as to be imperceptibly slow or so brief as to appear instantaneous. Time is a key ingredient in any healing, as this process does not in fact occur instantaneously. [Source: Encyclopedia of Time: Science, Philosophy, Theology, & Culture; Healing]
