Understanding Different Types of Endings

There are three major types of endings that people face, starting with anticipated endings, which are those that individuals can foresee and prepare for, such as graduations or the conclusion of a lease. These endings often involve communal recognition and celebration, marking significant transitions in life with gatherings or personal reflections. Engaging in small rituals or gratitude lists can help individuals navigate these changes gently, allowing for an acknowledgment of both the joys and sorrows associated with these anticipated transitions. Reflecting on actual life experiences related to anticipated endings can facilitate mindfulness about what is ending and what new beginnings might await.
