Paraphrasing here: “Remember that terrible thing that happened to you a long time ago? Someday, this thing that’s happening now will seem as far away as that thing does now.”
It wasn’t framed like this. I can’t really explain it the same way the advice was given to me because it was attached to a personal story, but that story wasn’t really important to the advice. It’s essentially just, “this too shall pass,” but this framing made it much more meaningful.
This helps me put things in perspective and realize that everything will be OK. When you’re in the middle of something difficult, it doesn’t always seem like it’s going to be OK. Knowing it will makes all the difference.
