Sometimes You Just Need to Let Go

There are occasions in life when all feels wonderful, and you'll wish you could stay in that place forever.

Other times you'll experience a loss and have a hard time getting past the grief.

Unfortunately, nothing on earth lasts forever. Sometimes you just need to let go.

Keep the best memories alive, but keep moving forward.

When you release the weight of the past, you make room for something new.

Trust that there is a purpose to the way life is unfolding. Be at peace. (S. Finelli)

According to Certified Grief Counselor, Dr. Alejandra Vasquez, "Grief affects everyone at some point in life and is a natural reaction to loss. No matter what you do to try and shelter yourself from negative experiences - loss, death, and grief follow us all. Inevitably, we'll all be affected by it, and when it happens to you, you’ll need to learn how to best cope with your pain and sorrow."
