 Lifetime
relationships are a bit more
difficult to let go of. When a
parent, child or spouse is involved,
the wounds are very deep. When
the end of a lifetime relationship
comes, you may feel that you would
be better off dead. The pain
seems to grow, the memories linger,
a part of your life is dying.
You relive every painful moment in
an attempt to understand. Your
job is not to understand. Your
job is to accept. Lifetime
relationships teach you lifetime
lessons; those things you must build
upon in order to have a solid
emotional foundation. They are
the most difficult lessons to learn,
the most painful to accept; yet
these are the things you need in
order to grow. When you are
facing a separation of the end of a
lifetime relationship, the key is to
find the lesson; love the person
anyway; move on and put what you
have learned to use in all other
relationships.
