Making major changes in your “state” is the most stressful thing you can do. Changing from employed to unemployed, married to divorced or widowed, single to married, non-parent to parent. I’ve been asked to move, again, by my spouse. His request, for his new job. Previous 3 job moves have been for me. I know it’s his turn. I will do my best to convince my employer that I can work remotely. I will manage the transition of 3 children to 3 different schools/situations. I will find new doctors/therapists/orthotists to help child1 with her medical needs. I will find a new orthodontist to help child2 and child3 with their orthodontia needs. I will find a new piano teacher and yoga instructor to help me with my needs.

I can envision the new reality. I’m just pained to get there.
