This is something I observed as we were helping Neredia, my mother-in-law, prepare to move from her apartment into a 55-and-older community. Although her new location is only five minutes from where she lives now and has many benefits including cheaper rent and activities, she is finding it hard to bring this chapter to a close. As we were packing boxes, I could sense her discomfort. I asked her what she was feeling, she responded, \u201cI don\u2019t want to move.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>In his book, <em>Necessary Endings<\/em>, author Dr. Henry Cloud wrote, \u201cEndings are not only part of life; they are a requirement for living and thriving, professionally and personally. Being alive requires that we sometimes kill off things in which we were once invested, uproot what we previously nurtured, and tear down what we built for an earlier time.\u201d He adds, \u201cBut without the ability to do endings well, we flounder, stay stuck, and fail to reach our goals and dreams.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Why do we avoid endings? Dr. Henry Cloud provides a number of reasons, but I will name a few:<\/p>\n<p class=\"rteindent1\">&#8211;We do not know if an ending is actually necessary or if it is fixable.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rteindent1\">&#8211;We are afraid of the unknown.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rteindent1\">&#8211;We are afraid of hurting someone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rteindent1\">&#8211;We are afraid of letting go and the sadness associated with an ending.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rteindent1\">&#8211;We do not possess the skills to execute the ending.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rteindent1\">&#8211;We have experienced many painful endings, so we avoid another one. <\/p>\n<p>I admit that I have delayed closing chapters in my life due to a few of the reasons listed above. In life, <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/better-living\/positive-thinking\/what-to-do-when-things-come-to-an-end\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">we will face many endings<\/a>\u2013some we are in control of, others we are not. In the book of Ecclesiastes the author states, \u201cThere is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven.\u201d Endings are the closing of a season in our life.
