Relationships are always changing. I tell this to everyone who encounters my psychotherapy practice website right on the homepage (www.LiveLikeLove.com). What this likely means is that we are always going through different kinds of endings, and likely different levels, shapes, and phases of mourning. We may mourn letting go of an earlier illusion of what the relationship could be, what we wanted and imagined it to be in a stable way over time, or even letting go of the same, relatively uncomplicated way we've been holding on since we first grabbed hold of an ongoing relationship. Yet, at moments when we come to the end of one story of a relationship and allow ourselves to tell a new, perhaps fuller story, there can also be a great potential energy that arises in counterbalance. How do you mourn and honor change in your relationships? What new energy, right now, are you beginning to sense in one of your relationships?

One heart looks toward the other. The other heart looks out at the viewer. Text reads, "I feel bad that one part of me wants to let go."]
