I think you are right on when you say that we can overlook the “loss” when we are making positive changes. And that that loss is normal though often unexpected. Every right turn means we haven’t made the left turn. Moving forward means leaving some things behind. Recognizing this, and allowing ourselves to feel the sadness etc is so important. Thanks for this reminder.

Yes, this is exactly what I was trying to say, but you said it better (and more succinctly). It doesn’t make sense that we should walk away from an identity and feel all peppy and positive. At least not all the time. ;-)

I didn’t think about that process as grieving, but it certainly makes me feel better about it, since it sounds a lot more dignified than my interpretation that I was just plain “losing it”!

Seriously, though, it makes sense, you invest years in a career and you’re expected to walk away from it all and feel all peppy and positive about moving on. When you don’t, you start to question your own sanity. Thanks for the reality check, Caryn!

As Caryn Reddick reminds us, even when we make a positive change, we nevertheless may grieve the old life. Even a change in our diet or lifestyle can trigger at least a small level of grieving. From Loss in sheep’s clothing (Mind Mediation): Loss is l…
