C.L.O.S.U.R.E

My insight on closure heightened when the seven letter word came across the web into my inbox and a sense of relief spread through me as if it was running through every blood vessel in my body.

Achieving a sense of closure is not always an easy task and can take time.
I guess having closure means gaining a better understanding of why things happened. Having closure means you do not go through the remaining part of your life wondering what you did wrong and why it has ended. A healthy closure involves talking honestly about what went on in the whole situation and what went wrong. It also helps to appreciate the things that went well, to learn something from the experience and treasure the good parts.

Closure shouts letting go, which can be the hard part. It’s a way to stop clinging to the idea, the person, the thing. It can be very difficult and challenging when one does not know how to or lacks the experience in letting go.

Closure gives us a chance to tie up emotional loose ends with an official ending why then do we avoid closures? It may be the desire not to offend that keeps a relationship afloat. The feelings of Loss can also be paramount. One’s self ego is also a reason to keep that feeling alive – to know that someone out there still loves you or treasures bits of you. A sense of comfort.

The Lack of closure can linger forever and significantly affect our lives on a daily basis. It’s more complicated & hurtful when you don’t want it to end but the other involved does, however a mutual understanding of the situation which is held on by the last few strands should sometimes be cut swiftly to avoid any further heartbreak or tears.
