On The Death Of A Relationship

By Esha Jaiswal

On the death of a relationship, one spends countless hours going over events; there are umpteen number of conversations - with loved ones, with professional help - on why things panned out the way they did and if something could've been different, had one done things differently.

However, what is. Is the reality. There are no two ways about it. It is for one to accept. As one's destined to what will be. What will be is what is meant to be. What isn't simply isn't.

When thinking of loss, all these realities go for a toss. One is too hard on oneself, trying to find 'the' truth of it all. One forgets the opportunities that open up, on a door closing – the immense potential in the now – that are calling,

should one calm down and let them in.

We are the creators of our own destiny – very true. For, if one doesn't allow what's waiting for them, to reach them, how would one move ahead and become the one destined for better?

On the death of a relationship, ideally one must forget and be in the present; it may take time to grieve – a body, mind and spirit cleanse. For, one has to be willing, bowing in submission, to learn what's next.

On the death of a relationship, one spends countless hours going over events; there are umpteen number of conversations - with loved ones, with professional help - on why things panned out the way they did and if something could've been different, had one done things differently.

One needn't.

For, what is, is what is

and there are no two ways about it.
