How do I deal with the losses? What do I do with the endings?

William Bridges in his book, “Managing Transitions” offers us the perspective that there are no new beginnings without endings. What endings are necessary for you as you seek to create space for new beginnings?

One of the key gifts we can offer ourselves when we are experiencing an “ending” in our life is to grieve the ending. Too often, in the push forward, we forget to reflect on what an ending means to us. We benefit from taking some time to honour ourselves and the ending. What change is the ending bringing about for us? What was the gift from the experience? What is necessary in order for us to move on in a way that honours us? Allowing some time for self-reflection, for grieving and for closure will allow us to truly release the ending and look towards the new beginning we wish to create for ourselves.
