“I don’t have any closure”. How often have you felt this way? This is a very unfortunate, almost tragic,
feeling to have. Basically this means
that you are stuck in the past, or you are constantly looking over your
shoulder into the past.
You may have heard the allusion
that our life is like a mansion full of rooms.
That we live primarily in only a few rooms and the rest of the mansion
is basically undiscovered. I use the
same allusion in talking about closure.
If you are trying to investigate your mansion, and you are walking from
room to room (which is a good thing), if you leave doors open behind you, then
whatever was in the room you just left, is very liable to follow you! Do you want that? If not, then you MUST close the door.
I think it’s pretty easy to see
with this metaphor that it’s pretty hard to focus on the present, if you are
constantly being dragged back into the past.
There’s another old saying; “when one door closes, another opens”. This very may be true, but if you don’t close
the doors in your mansion, what doors are going to open for you?!
I know there are times when you
are denied a form of closure. Your
partner just gets up and goes – leaving you behind to clean up the mess. Your partner has closure, because they got to
make all the choices. You have to find your own form of closure in this
case. I can be difficult, but it’s not
impossible. Find the closure, because if
you don’t you’ll never be able to be in the now, and we all know how important
that is!
