Finding Closure

 Finding Closure

Our lives are often a potpourri of events and circumstances that shape us—defining who we are and who we are becoming.

Many spend years trying to find closure from an event—or series of events—that altered their very existence. From the chaotic memories of a once "happily ever after" to the longing for a true soulmate, we all carry stories waiting to be laid to rest.

It could be the slow fading of a once tightly-knit relationship, the sting of unexpected loneliness, or the crushing weight of a loved one’s passing. It may be the pain of fruitless efforts despite tireless labour, or a medical condition that rewrote every part of your world.

There’s the journey of losing and regaining faith—the wilderness moments. The people we left behind, the ones who left us. The doors we closed, those shut against us, and those that never opened. The pleasant. The unpleasant. The failures that pushed us forward, and those that knocked us backward—leaving us feeling like we’re right back where we started.

And then, the haunting echoes:

"Guy, what are you up to now?"

"He doesn’t know what he’s doing."

"You’re not even on the train anymore."

But closure is personal. It comes at different times for different people.

Some find it as adults for wounds inflicted in childhood. Others stumble upon it after a series of unfolding events—a word, a message, a sight, an experience, an explanation. For some, it comes through restitution, a long-awaited "I'm sorry", a reunion, or even the finality of a sudden passing. It could arrive through a breakthrough, a divine encounter, a TV show, a passing comment by a stranger who has no idea of your pain.

It could be a miracle. A dream job. A doorbell ringing. A divine connection.

Each one a reminder: you are not alone, and things are being worked out for you—even when you cannot see them.

These moments of unveiling help us reevaluate what we once held so tightly—realizing that perhaps it was never meant for the future we are walking into.

Finding closure is knowing you did your best to salvage what you could, and accepting that it is what it is.

It could be the birth of a child you waited for through years of tears, mockery, and side glances.

It might be discovering your purpose—and walking in it, fully and freely.

It’s finding that one person who was truly meant for you, after a series of heartbreaks and mismatches.

It’s when the business you poured your soul into finally thrives.

It’s the reward of relentless labour and 

sleepless nights.

Ultimately, finding closure is knowing that you were preserved by God—for His purpose, and to live your best life according to His plan.

It’s the deep, unwavering peace that tells you: this happiness was truly worth waiting for.
