To let go is an important part of life. Letting go gives us the freedom and ability to move forward without carrying around a lot of excess baggage from the past. However, it is important to note that a big percentage of people don’t understand how to let go or even if they have let go of the past. It goes hand in hand with grieving.

Those who grieve well, live well.

I ran across a poem by an unknown author about letting go.
