There are two kinds of pain: physical and emotional. Both happen to everyone, both hurt like crazy, and both can be healed. What I wonder is can you re-experience pain when you think about the memory? If I think about when I broke my wrist no matter how hard I try I can't re-experience the pain in my wrist that I had that day. I know that it hurt a lot, but there is no way for me to feel the pain when I think about. On the other hand, when I think about my high school boyfriend breaking up with me and remember the different things that happened and the things that were said I can feel sadness and tears and remember the pint of ice cream that followed. Not to the same extent, but I can channel and re-experience those same emotions just by thinking about it. It is interesting to me that you can feel a broken heart but you can't feel a broken bone after it has happened.
