Design a ritual that acknowledges the importance of
what you have lost... and then take steps to act out the process of
letting go.
Express everything that you have to say to a person–out
loud, if possible–in a place that has some symbolic importance to you, for
instance,
the grave site of a loved one.
Rituals of release are especially effective when they
involve destroying or burying something that symbolizes the lost person or
unrealized dream.
The sacrifice must be real. Ask yourself, If
everything else were taken from me, what is the one precious keepsake
related to the loss that I would hold onto? Then destroy it.
