Now write a letter (or a paragraph or more for each person) expressing what ever you feel that you need tocommunicate to them before departing from them.

You might like to express some needs, emotions, complaints, grievances, bitterness, feelings of injustice, disappointment, love, gratitude, secrets which you have held, what you admire in them or perhaps you would like to forgive the other or ask for forgiveness.

Try to be as honest and specific as you can.

You can write to each separately as you maintain the feeling that you are now about to be separated and will never again be in this specific relationship.
