Why is it so hard to say goodbye?

I always hate goodbyes. The thought of saying my farewell to the one I loved kills me. I know, life isn't forever. Because there are only two things that are sure in life that would not change , 1.) We are born 2.) we'll die. This has been always my greatest fear and I wanted to overcome this. I know the candle of life of my loved ones are melting every day, every minute, and every second of their life and no can prevent that from happening. I want to learn how to accept the reality and embrace the changes that life has to give me.

It is very nice for everyone to encourage the rest who have had to say good-bye. To say turn it over to God. Enjoy life. Good-bye is a part of life. But good-bye is very difficult regardless of what anyone offers. I sincerely believe that each and every time someone leaves your life, regardless of how or why, that another part of you is taken. I also believe that is why people become so weak and weary. I just feel that there's just not as much of you there, and you are no longer who you were or capable of the things you were capable of once.

saying good bye makes me cry a lot. that's one thing i hate seeing or doing. often times or many times people that are very important to me would leave without saying good bye.though i don't think things would be lot easier even if they said good bye though. it will be just as painful.

everything can be learned if we will be willing to learn it., though its really hard to say good bye to someone we loved, we are all to face that reality. and the only thing that matters is "acceptance". one should learn to do it because if one will not, he will never learn to move on. life if full of test. and in every test we are passing, it gives us more strength and courage to go on and be stronger than before.

Well, I agree with you that goodbye is always the hardest part in life. But somehow, sometimes.. goodbye is the only way out.

The most difficult part between friends, lovers and love ones is saying goodbye.Just hearing the sound of it, there's a fear that you'll see each other again soon,later or never.So others hate to say this word.

Yes that is the truth saying goodbye means so hard to all of us especially if they are the love ones. i really don't understand the concept of the word goodbye. This is the time that i don;t want to happen always in my life always goodbye..

Every human has a ticking time bomb inside that nobody knows when to explode. Life is uncertain and no one is immortal. Just accept the fact and know to trust God more because He alone holds our life. The most important thing in life is to serve God and to know that there is life eternal that awaits those who truly obey His Words and faithful to the one who gave his life for us to be saved.

we share the same thoughts. and i would like to share with you what i have observed and learned from my grandma....at times like this.though it would feel like we're also dying..we just have to keep the faith and believe that God has the best plans for everyone....that everything happens for a reason......yes...we'll cry a river but let's try to smile knowing that our loved ones would have the best in store ...

Every end is new beginning... so every goodbye is new hello :) You have to overcome this fear, because when something or someone left your life, some other will come and this other may be better. You have to think positive and accept worse thing better. The life is not over when someone left your life. The life is ahedd of you. :)

Yes. We often hates to say goodbyes to the one we loved. Physical life isn't forever. But if we believe in God, yes there's another life after our physical life which is our spiritual life. Whereby, God will raise us and bring us back to his side and with that, we will gain eternal life and live forever with the ones we loved. Pray to God. Let Him hear our prayers. God bless and cheers!

Goodbye are words so hard to say.....and I hate it. Goodbyes are part of our life and we have to accept it, because it doesn't mean we won't be able to see them again...

I used to be like this... but after many obstacles in life, I started to see how change is great too. Growing and learning and becoming something better those are all great changes too and they could have came out from a painful, horrible situation. Even after a depressing day, you may still laugh, or the sun will still come back up. It all just keeps going. And one day we all go, at least you are not the only one left.

hi! well, i guess everybody hates it.... goodbyes in term of dying does really hurt, but lets look on its positive side. if they are suffering from pain, illnesses its much better to let go, than see them hurting. goodbyes from ex lovers/friends would be better if the feelings gone, rather than holding on it and be stuck on it. if the door closes another opens..... good memories lingers, even though that persons gone... life is that way... so just cherrish the days spenting with your love ones because sooner or later goodbye will come, and sadly, we cant avoid
