It's been an insightful read. It reminds me that I've been in situations where letting go of a relationship with a long-time friend turned out to be the only way we both could grow. There's always sadness, and the love and memories never go away, but sometimes you just have to move on. <abbr><em>Joanne’s last blog post..<a href="http://wealthcatalyst.net/2009/01/earl-nightingale-dont-follow-the-follower/" rel="nofollow">Earl Nightingale - Don’t Follow The Follower</a></abbr></em> Thank you for this writing.

Whether people, places, pets, jobs, or whatever, it is always a tough adjustment. But just like this wonderful post says... 'just as people leave our lives, others enter it.' I think it's important to remember that concept in everything we do. When one journey ends, it only means that another must begin, and each time, you are more prepared for the next journey then the last. It all comes down to dealing with change.

I too fell victim to the "want to hold on to" type of thinking. Afraid of the sadness i would have but knowing I should let go. Holding on to someone who wants space is never going to do anyone any good. I am finding this out tonight. It hurts but it will only get worse as you try and protest, yet....in the end..they will leave anyway. All the tears and please will be in vain. It is just a matter of will it be a friendly parting or a hostile one. Very timely!

Louise - It's certainly great to feel accepted for exactly who we are. I think "looking for God in everyone" is a great way to remind ourselves to let others do what they need to do.

Growth often requires changes, and sometimes that change requires space. We shouldn t fight this. Wow, what a great reminder of our need to give others space as we would hope they would do so for us.

You have allowed this person to be what they need to be, and acknowledged their inherent value as they are. What a powerful statement! I know how true it is from being on the receiving end of that acceptance and I believe I am giving that gift back to all I meet. I certainly know it's a goal of mine. One of the principles I live by is "I recognize God in everyone". Sometimes I have to search, but when I find it, it is a joyous experience and I find I can revel in their uniqueness. Recognizing when it's time to let them proceed on their separate path with grace is an art form! Wonderful post.

We can only fall in love with one at a time. So when the one you fall in love with has to leave you, just learn that your own company is always present and available and that giving away your power to be happy is not the best way to be an example of friendship to another person. Attachment and the attendant control will not endear you to anyone. Become appreciative of your own company so that when someone does come along, you can be an example of strength and wisdom to the relationship and choose a person who is such an example so that the two of you together will be an example for all to observe. There is no way to happiness. Happiness IS the way.------Doug How many people are there in this world? We can only fall in love with one at a time.
