Grieving the Death of a Relationship!

No matter what type of relationship has ended in your life, it is important to acknowledge the death of your relationship.  At least for me, that has been apart of the process.  These are a few things I have learned during my grieving process:

• Your 1st obligation is to yourself.  You are the one who is left to deal with the aftermath (ALONE).
• Acceptance: accept that the relationship is over.  Acknowledge the hurt.
• Accept responsibility for your role or actions in the relationship, so you can grow and learn from the experience (andso you do not repeat the same mistakes over and over again).
• Don't replay the bad experience in your mind.  It's over!  You don't ever have to experience that again with that person/those people.   Let go and move on from that place. 
• Forgive yourself! Forgive the other person/persons involved.
• Come to a place of PEACE and embrace your circumstance - knowing that God is in control. TRUST GOD!
• Healing must take place; Give yourself time.  Relationships aren't built overnight, so moving on without the other person/persons is hard. Heal means to make sound, whole, to restore, put back together; to make pure.
• Be open to what God wants to show you and eager to understand his purpose/lesson.
• You are WORTH it.  You are VALUABLE!! Guard your heart and choose wisely next time.
• God is with you in all situations, He will meet you where you are (low points and high points), and He will never forsake you.  So, don't stop loving, laughing, or form new bonds.

So, that's just some of what I have learned, but I am forever a student.  I hope to learn more, grow more, and share more.

Good morning,

My sincerest apologies. There was a network glitch at the telephone company where our equipment is located, the result of which was the issues assigned with your assigned dial-in number.

The issue has been resolved. Again, I'm sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused you and your conference participants.

Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.
