Life Transitions

Career moves are hard to navigate.

This career is the one that you once loved – one that you believed was your life’s work.

Going the extra mile, playing by the rules, and giving up your time led you to believe that the accolades and financial rewards would be worth the effort.

At this point, you feel it is time to re-evaluate. You wonder, “Is this where I should be? If not this, then what else?” Alternatively, you may have a clear idea about your next move but are unsure how to get there.

An unexpected loss of your life partner makes your life different.

Sometimes, divorce and death blindside you. You feel the changes but don’t want to face the challenges. At the same time, you know that you need to do something.

The death of a partner creates grief and loneliness, and it’s hard to figure out how to move forward. You wonder, “What’s next, and can I face the change?”

Heading for divorce? You wanted to fix things, but your partner has already checked out. The marriage has ended, and you don’t know how to start over. It’s time to look at yourself, your life, and how you want to embark on the next stage in your life.

After losing a partner from death or divorce, creating that next chapter is not easy. After all, you built a life that included two together – not one alone.

Taking care of parents creates one more obligation.

Life is hard to manage as you strive to take care of your family, keep busy with work, and volunteer at your children’s school. You think, “One more to-do on my list will be the end of me.”

At work, you get a call from your mom. She’s home recuperating from a recent fall and called to ask you, “Can you pick up a few things on your way over?” You checked your calendar, and that visit wasn’t supposed to be until tomorrow.

Tonight is your daughter’s piano lesson, and your husband is taking your son to basketball practice. Suddenly, you feel like the circus performer, trying to keep all the plates spinning without any falling.

It’s important to you to be there for everyone, and you accomplish this feat by putting everyone’s needs before yours. The cost of these commitments is climbing, and you sense you’re on a sinking ship.

Coping with life’s transitions brings many challenges.

Navigating career moves, losing a life partner, or caring for parents and family are significant transitions you are likely to face. Balancing your responsibilities and taking time for yourself seems like an impossible dream.
