Healing and closure

Question

¿Cómo se dice "healing" en el español?

Por ejemplo, "We must hope for healing and closure." I'm very stumped on this one.

My attempt: Tenemos que esperar para healing y closure...

An example for "closure" in the SD dictionary is "llegar a un desenlace satisfactorio" - would anyone like to state their opinion on that?

Muchas gracias

Answer 1

What's with "healing" today? Odd...

In this sort of context, "healing" is always "sanación". Curación refers to the physical restitution of injured tissues.

Therefore: "We must hope for healing and closure" - "Debemos tener esperanza de que habrá sanación y cierre", although given more context, I may come up with a better way to say it.

Answer 2

Well healing can be curación or sanación but I don't think I've ever heard these words in emotional context. So maybe throw in the word emotional like "tenemos que esperar sanación emocional y que lleguemos a un desenlace satisfactorio."

This is a really good question though, I hope someone can give better insight!
