I have often wondered about letting go of a relationship and moving on.
It seemed to be a very complex process, something that brings so much pain and so much joy at the same time.
The painful part comes in those times when you get to remember all those things that made that relationship fall apart-the fights, the struggles, and everything said and done.
The blissful part meanwhile takes you to the wonderful memories of waking up together, holding hands, or even just enjoying some quiet time together somewhere.
The person who is in the process of letting go of a relationship is in between these conflicting memories.
But letting go of a relationship is a necessity, and to be able to move on, you really need to undergo the process, no matter how painful it is.
There's really no specific way of letting go of a relationship.
It's usually trial and error.
I myself have gone through the process, and I have endured mending my broken heart for more than a year.
It is difficult at times and we have to accept that fact.
We recover differently and we take different paces.
Some of us easily let go; others take more time and usually more moments of solitude and sadness.
In letting go of a relationship, we must, first and foremost be forgiving, not only of the beloved other, but of our selves.
We must not beat ourselves up.
The moment has not yet allowed us to recover, but it will do sooner or later.
At this time, we must learn how to nurture our self esteem.
We must take care of our well being so that we can survive the heartache.
More importantly, we must also learn how to love again.
Letting go of a relationship requires us to have more courage in facing the world.
If we remain fearful of what could be, the universe will never be kind to us.
It is only in embracing life again could we fully succeed in letting go of a relationship.
