Hello,
"It is sometimes found with physical illness, that an
illness lightens and most of the affliction heals, but the body is not cleansed
of it other than by drinking bitter potions and suffering the pain of
withdrawal from desirable foods.
"So, too, the soul may be ill from a great
transgression, and even though most of the illness will be healed and the
multiplicity of aspects of punishment will leave once one repents and HaShem
retreats from His wrath, still, the soul will not be cleansed of the illness
and her sin will not be fully forgiven until the sinner has suffered…"
(Rabbeinu Yonah, Shaarei Teshuvah 4:1)
שנראה בנחמת ירושלים,
Mordechai
