Can I use this as a metaphor?
Like...you are going to heal from something emotional or is it just physical?

Sårene the wounds kommer til å gro.

Sårene the wounds  kommer  til å gro.

Answer

Yes, the idea of wounds that will — or wounds that won't — heal, can be used metaphorically in Norwegian as well (so your suggested sentence makes complete sense). We also have the expression "tiden leger alle sår" (used in the same way as "time heals all wounds").
