When They Walk Away

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

“We do not own anyone’s choice.”

There are moments
when someone decides you are no longer part of their life.

They may blame you.
They may rewrite the story, their way.
They may never return and you may not be ready to accept the return if it comes.

You may want to fix it at times.

Time does not always allow resolution for everyone, it carries a different impact for each individual.

Resolution comes in many forms but requires a synchronisity.

Boundaries dont disappear with resolutions, but they can widen when respected and honored as such.

You cannot force someone
into awareness, healing or readiness.

Their leaving is their process.

Even when it hurts.

You are allowed to grieve it
without chasing it, even if it takes a lifetime.

You are allowed to honor your truth
without defending it, just live it.

We do not own others process or soverienty.
We only our own.

  1. This is honest and wise.

    We truly do not own anyone’s choices. Sometimes people walk away, and we cannot fix what they are not ready to face. It hurts, but we can grieve without chasing.

    We remember that God gives each person free will. Even the father in the prodigal son let his son leave. Love does not control. It trusts God with the outcome.

    We guard our hearts, we pray for them, and we leave the rest in His hands.

  4. I love your place, Kerri. So stunning. We can only control ourselves, and when they leave and come back, may it grieve, dismay, among others that we feel, I might ask for respect to never bother me at all.
