Closure: Finding Polly

Closure is a very quiet place in our hearts and minds where we sometimes search for peace and finality. We often seek closure when tragedy rips at the very core of our heart, forever devastating our lives and the precious lives of our family and friends. We must realize that achieving closure is ours and only ours. It is not in truth the property of the agony that we experience. It is that innate pain that comes from very deep inside us and if we let it, it will surely consume us. Closure is in our heart of hearts and our intelligible understanding of what weve had to endure and why. Please remember, it is not what happens to us, but how we construe what happens to us that will initially determine our emotions, our behaviors, and ultimately our mental state of mind. Nevertheless, if the faith within is not unyielding, sadly most will spend their entire fractured lives in search of it. From my heart to yours,B.R. McCoy
