CAN CLOSURES BE CALM AND GOODBYES BE GOOD?

You have ended a chapter in your life. It could have been personal or professional. What you said in the end, those last few words, will make all the difference.

Did you burn all bridges or create one? Endings are never easy but you can still part with grace. In the world of literature, see how Frodo's Farewell in The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien is filled with gratitude and hope- "You cannot always be torn in two. You will have to be one and whole, for many years.

You have so much to enjoy and to be, and to do." Or take a look at Steve Jobs' simple yet impactful resignation letter in 2011- "I have always said that if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple's CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come."

Have you ever wondered how people "part on a good note" like how Sussanne and Hrithik have divorced each other and yet continue to holiday with each other in Goa and remain cordial and civil. Can closures be decent? Can goodbyes ever be good? Can we actually part with grace? The answer is Yes and it totally depends on what we say in the end.
