Struggling with transitions

Transitions should be a time of reflection, where you have been and who you have traveled that road with. Reflect on where you are now and what you are doing and why you are doing it.

Last, where due you want to go, what do you want to do, what opportunities lay ahead of you. I have a couple of friends who all lost their spouses in the last two months.

These spouses are struggling with Purpose and direction. They are struggling with past, present and future. I say the past because so much of their lives was wrapped up in the lives of their dead spouses.

Their present is just struggling to deal with their new situation. They are struggling with the future because they have never considered what their future would look like by themselves or with someone else.

What does a friend do in a situation like this. The answer is just being there. Be the ear that takes the time to listen to and enjoy their stories. Be hug they need when they see you.

Take them out if they will go out and invite them to join the family or group of friends they used to hang out with. When going out with them make sure there is another single person there or remove a chair so there is no empty spot at the table.

They have to do the heavy lifting deciding what their future will look like and where they want to be. You just have to be there if they need emotional support.  

I have an ear that would love to hear your stories. Let’s taste the real meaning of life. I am still working on my course with the goal of launching a starter course, and I will keep you abreast as to how the process goes.
