Getting an ending that makes sense

I finally manage to actually finish writing a short story, though I wasn't happy with the ending. I gave it to my family members and they agreed, they said it was way to abrupt that they got really into the story and then it suddenly ended. I'm curious as to what anyone else thinks about writing a good ending.

How about a good epilogue? to explain aftermath? or drawing out the ending a little?

Thanks Christina,

Leaving it alone will probably be difficult haha, I find it annoying to know there something just sitting there waiting to be finished, but I definitely (try to) keep my mind away from it!
