This is what is hardest: to close the open hand because one

Summary

This quote suggests that it is difficult to let go or say goodbye to someone or something we love deeply.

It highlights the challenge of sacrificing our personal desires due to the understanding that what is best for our loved ones may not align with our own aspirations or wishes.
