I like how simple this is.  One step at a time seems to be the message for me.

Thank you for that key message. Whatever the hurts, it's so important to do the post-mortem. The hurts lead too many people to run to a new person without cleaning up their interior mess. Whatever was unfinished in the old relationship, is sure to just move to another and sabotage it, if one doesn't develop some self-awareness and perhaps make some course corrections inside. Sure it's hard work, but worthwhile for a better future.

 I agree that the principles here are good, but there is not a very clear idea of how we are to accomplish this.In order to have a post mortem on a failed relationship, we need a good listener. If I just go over and over in my mind what I think went wrong, I don't get anywhere. I find, though, that when I talk it over with a good friend I get a clearer sense of my own role.The temptation is always to blame the other person. We need somehow to have a mirror held up in front of us to see what we are doing.
