Closure vs. Recovery: there is a difference

Conflict due to miscommunication or a simple misunderstanding can fracture a relationship with someone very dear to us. This happens all too often because we arent always versed in the how tos of effective communication but additionally becasue we aren’t in touch with how we really feel. Not teaching or understanding the need for closure and recovery, sets the stage for secrets, harbored resentment and clogged emotional arteries. You are not only incapable of defining how and why you feel the way you do, you are walled off from understanding how others feel. Apologies and responses are delivered courteously rather than sincerely and without true remorse. This is not healthy and it gets use only but so far. Shemora Roberson © 2019
