This is very helpful Julia. I have never really thought about honoring the pace of transition before as I have always felt that I should just get back into my routine and get things done after a holiday, however honouring the transition and managing expectations does indeed make very good sense. Honouring the pace of transition and taking things slowly could also offer me the opportunity to process my break and my interactions and experiences and thoughts on both.
Thank you as always for your wise words. Charmaine x
Reading on a Monday evening in Australia & I'm nodding with agreement & smiling at "shitty committee". Here in Oz, this transition happens around mid to late January where everyone gets back to routines of school, study & work! As a retiree I still remember the transition feelings! Thank you too for Grief Works app. At 6 months since my dad's death I've needed a refresh for 3 months! Your work & really excellent words helping is SO appreciated by me! Denyse x
