I think it would be more accurate to say the memory of the emotion remains...and then a new instance might also appear. But the pain or emotion of that actual moment has passed and cannot be re-felt.

note: I realize some people might disagree strongly there, but the pain and emotion of a stubbed toe, for example, can only be remembered, not re-felt.
