Our need for closure has to cease being something we seek outside ourselves and something we reach by diving within. What we seek when we seek closure is a break in the action.

I have always said that grief and loss are like a best friend, "It knows me better than anyone, it's reliable and always there when I need it. It makes me angry. It makes me sad. Grief comforts me, loves me and protects me. I will never have another relationship quite like it."

The truth is that all of it, the good and the bad, the fantastic and the painful, the sunshine and the rain -- all of it is here to serve the process of our growth.

It always hurts to be dumped without having any say in the matter but it will be less painful and you will heal more quickly over time if you take control of what you can.

Closure is different than grief. Grieving is looking back; closure is about looking ahead. We want to let go and move on. This is what closure gives us.

This isn't complicated, it's adultery, and it's not funny.

Sometimes people believe they need to obtain closure from another person before they sever a friendship. This isn't true.
