To Let Go Takes Love
My therapist went over this with us in my last session and although I already understood this I felt that it may help a new person.
To "let go" does not mean to stop caring

another, it is to make the most of myself

To "let go" is not to fix, but to be supportive
To "let go" is not to judge, but to allow another
to be a human being

but to allow others to affect their own destinies
To "let go" is not to be protective, it is to
permit another to face reality
To "let go" is not to deny, but to accept
To "let go' is not to nag, scold, or argue, but instead to
search out my own shortcomings and to correct them
To "let go" is not to adjust everything to my desires but to
take each day as it comes, and to cherish "myself" in it
To "let go" is not to criticize or regulate anybody
but to try to become what I dream I can be

to grow and live for the future
To "let go" is to fear less and to love more.
