Stages of Letting Go

Stages to Letting Go

There are stages to letting go:

1. We move away from contact, but still feel the pain of withdrawal.

2. We accept what happened but are still hurt.

3. Acceptance brings our serenity back.

3. We begin to see all the wisdom of letting go and start to feel acceptance coming on.

4. We can see the lesson we just learned. Sometimes we are even a little grateful for the outcome.

5. God willing, the pain recedes for a while.

6. Sometimes we even feel good.

7. Sometimes it seeps down to our unconscious and only comes up when you are reminiscing. This happens when someone you love dies.
