You don't know what to expect and you're not sure how to handle the new challenges. We may feel anxious or unsure of what to do. Here are a few tips for coping with big changes:
Talk about it
Acknowledge that there is probably some fear and uncertainty going on and talk to someone you trust about it. It can be helpful to have someone listen without judging or giving advice. Seeking someone you can talk to is where you get to make the changes. It may take some time because change takes time. Remember, it's not a matter of if you will change, but when.
Accept the change
Make a plan
Set yourself boundaries
Take some time for yourself
Stay connected
Learn something
Don't place all your eggs in one basket
Expect the unexpected knowing you are ready
The best way to get through the worst of times is to keep your head up and remember that although bad things happen may happen sometimes, you have the inner ability to deal with whatever comes through the combined effort of your family and loved ones.
