After many frustrated attempts. I ended up with a big hole in my pocket, but it was nothing compared to the hole it left in my pride.
However, during these arduous years, time was my soothing healer.
Any grammatical or punctuation flaws in these sentences?
There should not be a period after 'attempts'.
@kuben123,
I would replace the period after attempts with a comma
@kuben123,

Does not match.

So you are claiming that healing was taking place as the holes were being created, which while it might be true is not how we speak. We say that first comes the injury, then comes the healing. More common phrasing would be
"The years were arduous, but time was my soothing healer."
