How to Get Closure

Losing a loved one or having a relationship end is a difficult thing to endure. Getting closure once you have suffered any tragedy or losss is key to getting your life back together and moving on to happiness and fulfillment.

Instructions

• 1

  Identify the issue with which you need closure. Sometimes there are a few things that need to be resolved, but make sure to find closure with one issue at a time.

• 2

  Accept that you need to give closure to yourself and not just from another person. You, yourself, have to accept that it's over and it's time to move on. So even if the other party can't give you closure, at least you will learn to accept it yourself.

• 3

  Write down pros and cons of the issue so that you can see what went wrong, if it's a relationship that has ended. After you've written things down, you'll be able to see what went wrong and learn from it the next time you get involved in a relationship.

• 4

  Keep a journal or memory book if a person close to you passed away. You'll be able to grieve that way, as well as look back on all those memories someday, and remember the friend that you once had.

• 5

  Let it go. If it's a relationship gone bad, accept that it's over and move on. It doesn't do to dwell on the past. Get up, dust yourself off and get on with life. You'll find happiness again.
