Sue, you said,
"It is all so silly in a way, not that I have ever liked change but surely I am a “grown up” and could accept it a little more graciously?"
Your feelings are never silly, Sue.
and as for acting like a GROWN UP,
there are times when that is necessary
and times when it's not...
Your days are filled with powerful, natural reactions
to big changes. There is nothing silly
or immature about how you are feeling.
To feel, to talk about feelings,
those are STRENGTHS, not
weaknesses.
In your corner,
Rachel
