In a picture-perfect scenario, you would have gotten the closure you deserved. You wouldn't have to second-guess what went wrong at the end, rewinding lingering memories like a movie that somehow never reaches the end credits. Unfortunately, life doesn’t always grant us that kind of clarity and sometimes, it does, but by then, it may feel a bit too late.
 
Closure is not just ending the relationship on a good note, it has many more layers than you know, so without further ado, here’s why giving and receiving the proper goodbye is one of the most important parts of moving on and ending the relationship.
 
It Will Help You Heal
Without closure, you won’t be able to move on from the past and let it go completely, you may find yourself clinging to old memories and struggling with the constant “what ifs”. Closure gives you time to process everything that happened, while marking it as the beginning of your detachment and allows you to start the healing process.
 
You Will No Longer Have Doubts
Closure will bring all the missing pieces together, and will provide explanations for the unanswered questions roaming in your mind. You will also realize the other person’s intention, leaving no room for anticipation or predictions, so no matter how difficult the goodbye sounds like, it will eventually serve a sense of finality.
 
It Gives Emotional Resolution
Closure is not entirely about parting ways, it will also provide you with the comfort of understanding and acceptance. You won’t experience uncertainty and emotional ups and downs, thus helping you find peace that the situation is finally over, and putting an end to that chapter once and for all.
 
It Allows You to Grow
One of the most important things about closure is that it gives you the space to grow and reflect on the relationship, remembering the good and the bad and what you learned from it, so you can carry those lessons into your next chapter. Even if it means growing apart from that person for good, it will prepare you for new beginnings.
