Hello, this is Lynda with Rooted&Real, and today we are handling the second
episode of 'Letting Go' with Letting Go of Broken Relationships. Breakups hurts, and
I'm not just saying romantic ones, yeah? Even friendships that go cold, family that cuts you
off because of some disagreement, and partners who stop choosing you.
It's actually grief without a funeral. You're mourning someone who's still alive.
And that's confusing. One day they're your person, and the next day they're a stranger
with your memories. It's not always your fault. Let's get this straight. Not every ending means
you've failed. Sometimes people outgrow each other. Sometimes love just isn't enough to fix broken
partners. And funny enough, sometimes letting go is the love. You can love someone and still
release them. Holding on too tight will crush both of you, so it's time to let go.
But how do we do it? First, stop replaying the last conversation.
Closure is rarely a speech, yeah? Closure is a decision you make for yourself.
Secondly, grieve the future, not just the past.
It doesn't make sense, eh? Okay, here it is. You're not just losing them. You're losing the plans,
the what-ifs. Cry for that too, yeah? And lastly, return
what is not yours. And you know what's not yours? Their anger, their silence,
their version of the story. Give it back to them. You only carry what's yours.
And you know what's yours? Your peace and your growth.
Letting go of someone doesn't mean they didn't matter. It means you matter too.
If your heart is heavy because someone left, I SEE YOU.
Take your time. Feel messy if you have to, but don't beg people to stay where they've already
left. You're not unlovable just because it ended. You're just being redirected.
So again, thanks for listening. And remember, make a comment, give me your story, follow,
subscribe. And next time, we'll talk about letting go of projects that just didn't work out.
