As I said, we all develop our own typical response to ending things. The inner element in that response is a mental state or mood or frame of mind. Like the air we breathe, that mood can be so familiar that it is difficult to identify. But it helps to think back on old endings and to try to recall the feelings and thoughts you had then. As you begin to remember your old reactions to endings, you are likely to realize that your old mindset is being reactivated in the present whenever something ends in your life.
