Can something dead bloom again?

To die is to feel void and empty, broken beyond repair. How can something dead learn to live once again?

Feeling so alone and numb to feelings can hurt almost as bad as starting to feel again. Stay numb is to stay safe right? Of is it letting death defeat and win?

My question is can something so dead and numb know when it's okay to start to bloom and become alive again. When do you know the pain is too much and the time is not right, or when to work through the pain in order to regain life once again?
