Describe the last difficult “goodbye” you said.

Coming to the conclusion to say goodbye was much harder than saying it. Saying it was a huge relief.

Describe the last difficult “goodbye” you said.

I’ve had a few. While I well understand that goodbyes may be necessary at times, I don’t always like them. I’ll never hold back from making practical/effective use of one. Some have been to places, things, ways of living acting & thinking, and of course other people. At times my goodbyes have required a good measure of thought beforehand while several very little. Forethought has helped me to issue goodbyes almost immediately at times, without error. The most difficult goodbyes are the ones where I must absolutely establish that there will be no more of whatever has been taking place, usually to protect/save myself … & just about never is there a coming together again of the situation for me. I appreciate the option of a goodbye!
