Upright
Three swords through a heart. This is the pain that comes from a truth, a message or a loss. In your question, the Three of Swords asks you not to pretend it does not hurt. Let yourself feel it and put it into words. Often the weight lifts only once the sorrow is allowed to be real.
Reversed
You carry an old sorrow that should have been allowed to heal, yet you keep touching the wound again and again. Perhaps you hold on to the pain because it has become part of your story. The Three of Swords reversed asks whether you are ready to let go. Forgiveness can begin in small ways.
