This is going to be the year that……. (fill in our own blank)

There are different kinds of change.

We change a light bulb.

We change our clothes, or our hairstyle.

Those changes are easy. They are done out of necessity as in the light bulb, or a sense of boredom in the case of our hair.

Change is often looked at with the how easy it is to make, or maybe its how convenient it is for our lives.

We don’t like to be inconvenienced, and inconvenient change is often pushed aside for another day.

Up until this year, when we contemplated a change that impacted the world, we, or at least I decided it wasn’t a convenient time. A lot of us have reached a place where convenience or comfort does not enter into our decision to act.

Grief is like that.

Grief changes us; it is inconvenient, and painful.

We don’t like it, and it’s not going away.

A common response to grief is; “I just want things to be the way they were.”  I’ve heard the same sentiment about the current situation too. In both cases, we are being called to a new normal, to a change in the way we live, the way we respond, the way we love.
