How to Handle Saying Goodbye

Do you find saying goodbye terribly upsetting and emotional?

Does the thought of parting cast a black cloud over what should be joyful occasions?

Do you worry you'll cry when saying goodbye?

Parting is an event often tinged with sadness, whether a dear friend or relative is going away, or lovely people you have met on vacation are returning to their own lives, or you yourself are leaving a neighborhood where you have established roots and connections.

When people have become part of your life, the thought of not seeing them again for what may be a long time can be a source of real melancholy.

So tears and sadness are a normal part of bidding farewell to people who matter to us. Similarly, there is nothing unusual about experiencing lingering feelings of sorrow when the parting has actually taken place, as you start to miss the joys and pleasures of the contact you used to have with those people.

All this is normal and natural, and in the normal and natural course of things, such feelings tend to lessen over time.

When saying goodbye becomes too much

But these natural reactions can sometimes get amplified into such a devastating emotional storm that it can overwhelm you, and color all our experiences of parting.

If this happens to you, it can make you very anxious about saying goodbye, so that you feel you have to actively avoid occasions of farewell, for fear of upsetting others as well as yourself. You know that your reaction is excessive, but it feels outside your control.

Of course, not being able to manage partings also makes it more tricky to manage meetings - letting new people enter and enrich your life, because of the thought of maybe having to let them go again.

What can be done about this?

You may have tried to reason with yourself, and tell yourself that there is no need to get so upset, because it's much easier to stay in touch with people nowadays, even people on the other side of the world, but you've probably noticed that all this reasoning, true as it may be, has little impact.

What you need is a way to calm down the emotion.
