You will get over it too

I don't know if this was already posted but oh well.

A mother had just lost her only son. She will not seem to get over it. So she went to the village wise man and asked "I have just lost my son. I cannot forget about him. Do you have a potion that can bring him back to life?" The wise man answered "yes, my dear. And I have all the mixings right here. But you must get me one thing. You must get me a single grain of rice from a family that has lost no one dear to them." So the woman set out. She had asked everyone in the village. No luck. So she set out in the country. No luck. Soon she had asked the whole world. But no luck. Exasperated, she went back to the wise man. "Oh, wise man. I have failed. Everyone in this whole wide world has lost a dear one. I'm sorry. I cannot complete the potion." The wise man looked at the weeping woman and said "you have finished the potion. It is inside you. Everyone has lost someone near. But they have gotten over it. And you will get over it too."
