good-bye:

Saying good-bye to one’s job is a trivial thing, though there are exceptions of course. If you are mature and i.e. professionally experienced enough, you must have changed many jobs till you found something that more or less suited you.

There are people who even say good-bye to happiness. Of course, if any person was asked a question: ‘Would you ever refuse from happiness if it suddenly arrived and knocked on your door?’, the answer would invariably be ‘NEVER’. So does it mean that people have reasons to say good-bye to their happiness? So much for the power of good bye, or maybe it’s another hardship, a trick, a choice making which will make us stronger in time?

Saying good-bye is a piece of cake when you leave something that is transient in your life. However, saying good-bye is always difficult when you (have to) just drop something you got used to, something you love being occupied with or something that gives you positive emotions.

We say good-bye to so many things and people, that we don’t realize the strength of this farewell ‘magic’ word and the power it often possesses over us.

Good-Bye to Family

Saying good-bye to the family is always difficult, especially when we speak of families where love, respect and trust are well-cherished. We can say good-bye to our family for many reasons and under different circumstances which scarcely prompt harmony or peace of mind.

For instance, kids say good-bye to their parents when they leave for college and are mature enough to leave the house where they spent their childhood. Both sides – parents and children realize that everybody goes through this stage of life but it's still hard to say good-bye with the closest people even though you know that your independent future awaits you and your parents are safe and sound and you will always stay in touch.

Another example of saying good-bye to one's family is when marriages break. Reasons for this are various, while the feeling is always similar – the loss of something that has been built carefully and attentively, with lover and care, gentleness and huge expectations implying its unbreakeability which eventually crash and burn.

People say good-bye to family when members of their family pass away. This is the hardest because we cannot confront death or fight with it, we cannot influence it, in other words we are totally powerless here – another evidence of the concept of the power of good-bye and its influence on people.
