The thing you desperately want resolved may be the thing teaching you how to live without resolution.

Some situations do not close. A relationship ends without a full account, a diagnosis stays uncertain, a person you needed an answer from is not going to give one. The demand for resolution keeps the situation permanently open in you, and the capacity you are actually being asked to develop is the ability to carry something unfinished and still live.

If you are waiting for a resolution that shows no sign of arriving, try acting as though it will not come. Not to give up hope but to stop the rest of your life waiting. Make the decisions you would make if the answer never arrived, and let it surprise you if it does.
