Is it important to have closure?
We often hear about closure after a relationship ends, but I think it can mean so much more than that.
It can be a child wanting answers from a parent, someone dealing with abandonment, an adopted person wondering about their biological family, or simply trying to understand why someone we loved suddenly walked away.
Sometimes we get the answers we need.
Sometimes we don't. And perhaps closure isn't always about getting an explanation from the other person.
Maybe it is about accepting what happened, making peace with the questions that remain, and deciding to move forward anyway.

Sometimes others do, especially those who were left hanging no knowing what happened. I think they need it for peace of mind, some need it coz they can't understand the sudden change of a person or circumstances when at first they were so good.
But those who are still hoping for a red flags in life, I think, no need for a closure, people who are asking for closure when things are too obvious -- is because they are hoping for things to work out, but sadly it won't, they really not asking for closure, most of them are asking for second chances.

I think a lot of closure is having to decide to move forward anyway, like you mentioned.
My ultimate closure comes from the Lord. I feel He helps me make peace with even the most uncertain situations because I know it is ultimately in His hands. Sometimes I try to push further of my own accord, but that just brings me strife, not the peace I so often seek.
