The Hardest Part About Leaving Is Goodbye

Having to say goodbye to the person you have been with for almost all your life can be quite challenging or having to say goodbye to the one person you always thought will be in your life for the rest of your life is another though thing to do, someone once said it is not all about leaving but saying goodbye to them is what make it very hard to deal with. Sometimes we welcome people in our lives and for some certain reasons we won’t ever imagine letting them go but then live throws something different at our face, it was all fine at some certain point and we feel very happy then it comes to a point when we have to say good bye.

As we grow older then we start learning how to say goodbye and eventually you learn that goodbye is a necessity with all the crap throw at you, although sometimes it might seem hard to accept especially if you have to say good bye to the person you love and cherish the most. Sometimes it is you leaving the people you love behind and other time it is them leaving you and saying goodbye, although it is the toughest thing you will have to do at that point in time. Sometimes it gives heartache other times there is a friend still waiting when you get back but even at that saying goodbye is the toughest thing to do.

Most time having to say Goodbye to that person you never want to do without can be the toughest and how to creep out of this moment without having to face the emotional torture. Here are tips that will make your goodbye easier to say:

  • Try to put out your confusing feelings into words, try to tell your love once how you are trying to sort out your contradictory feelings and how you will love them to listen to you, share your fears having to say goodbye to the one you know you never want to miss any moment with. Doing that will help reduce the tension you have in you and just maybe your goodbye will be easier to say.
  • Give yourself time to adjust, either you are saying goodbye because of some life changes, illness ad death or even an end to a relation, which ever reason you have to say goodbye try as much as possible to give room for yourself to adjust, know that nothing will be right at the beginning but at the long run you will eventually learn to deal with the feelings, give it time and also give your self chances to adjust.
  • Know that the mix feelings you are experiencing is normal, try as much as possible to help yourself overcome these mix feelings by accepting that the person have to leave as it is important for them. Know that the feelings of loss and anticipation are part of almost every life transition. If it seems hard to come by put them down in words or mostly you can even send a goodbye quote to them if it appears hard to say in person.

The thought of the fact that you have to see them leave might not be as challenging as the fact that you will have to say goodbye to them even if you never want to, most cases when our body don’t feel like saying goodbye we resort to sending goodbye quotes which doesn’t necessary mean we want to truly say goodbye but that appears to be the safer means to bid them farewell.
