As an amateur writer, how do you figure out your endings? (beehaw.org)

Like many, I find I can come up with cool setting ideas and various characters, but one thing I struggle with is figuring out how to wrap everything up.

What's your process of nicely crafting the middle of your narrative and flowing it naturally into a satisfying ending?

I found that having someone who likes your writing read it, then give their theories about how it will end can be a great tactic. You can give them what they expect, or use it to create an unexpected twist.
