All BeginningsNeed an Ending
The greatest loss you will ever experience inthis life is the death if a loved one. After that,experts rank divorce and then separation asthe number two and three respectively. Theselosses are huge and resemble death in manyways. They automatically throw us into agrieving period that each and every one of must experience if we are to move forwardand recover.

Your divorce is not just a change; it is a full-blown life transition. Lifetransitions change the very landscape of our lives and leave us lost, confusedand hurting deeply, thrusting us into a period of limbo that feels like no-woman’s land. In order to move ahead and create anew landscape for ourselves, we must acknowledge and accept what ended. An ending must precede all beginnings.The end of your marriage and your divorce is the ending to which I refer. Itis mandatory that you be in full acceptance of that ending. When somethingends it is done, over and gone. The past cannot be retrieved or made to existfor us. What was, was and what is, is. You need to be in acceptance of whatis. One must be able to consciously acknowledge and accept that ending.You simply cannot begin again until you have closure on the end of your marriage. Acceptance of your divorce is predicated on also giving up blame,resentment and regret…that is the hard part. Think of those three emotionsas heavy boulders you are carrying on your shoulders. They are keeping youstuck and unable to move forward and they are hurting no one but you andyou alone. The price of carrying those burdens is very, very high. Givingthem up is freedom and with that freedom comes the empowerment to createa new life.Commit this spring to moveforward into your new life bycompleting the ending of your old life. As I have said before,you must give up your old lifein order to create a new one.You must give up what youwere to become who you aremeant to be.
Some Facts About Spring for you to Use…
The spring equinox is one of the four great solar festivals of the year. Dayand night are equal, poised and balanced, but about to tip over on the side of light. Just as the dawn is the time of new light, so the vernal equinox is thetime of new life.In many traditions, this is the start of the new year. For instance, the Romanyear began on the ides of March (15th). The astrological year begins on the
equinox when the moon moves into the rst sign of the Zodiac, Aries, the
Ram.
