recover, restore, great

恢 is composed of the radical 心 (heart, mind) and 灰 (ashes). 心 represents emotions and mental states, while 灰 depicts using a hand to scoop up the remaining ashes after the cremation of a loved one, extending to signify grief, sorrow, or desolation. Because one must maintain mental strength and inner power to recover emotional balance from grief and desolation, 恢 extends to mean to recover, restore, or become vast and expansive.
