Saying Good-bye To Good People Without Saying Good-bye To Good Memories The painful truth is that all relationships eventually end. When relationships end the most common response is for people to get busy with other tasks or relationships to distract themselves from the pain of the loss. The problem with this approach is that when we avoid the pain and sadness of the loss we also block out the memories, good and bad. This presentation discusses the process for accepting the end of a relationship, regardless of the way the relationship ended, so that we still have access to the good memories and life lessons gained. The goal of accepting the end of a relationship is to have easy access to the good memories and positive influences that were developed during the relationship. While this message is useful for everyone, it is especially important for anyone who has lost a loved one or close friend and is still grieving that loss. Contact Dr. Hayes: Timothy J. Hayes, Psy.D.
