#90: Why Closure is a Choice, not another Conversation


Listen Later

Endlessly replaying conversations, waiting for a message that never comes, or holding out for the moment the other person finally explains why it ended. We tell ourselves that once we get that explanation, we'll be able to move on.

But what if the pursuit of closure is actually what's keeping us stuck?

In this episode, we're unpacking a hard truth: the closure we seek from someone else is often less about healing and more about keeping a door open, a quiet way of avoiding the grief that comes with truly letting go. As long as we're waiting on them, we don't have to fully face the reality that it's over.

Real closure isn't something anyone can hand you. It's a choice. One you make before you feel ready, and often precisely because you don't. It's the decision to stop outsourcing your healing to someone who has already left the story, and to start facing the loss on your own terms.

Because the door doesn't close when they explain themselves. It closes when you decide to stop waiting.
