EP25 - Making Changes: Around the Home and In Your Life

After the loss of someone close, it is a common suggestion not to make any large changes in the first year. Good advice, however, when making changes anytime after loss, it is wise to understand that specific advice is not a one-size-fits-all scenario. As each experience is different, so too are the responses associated with that experience. When grieving, some may wait more than a year to clean out a loved one's closet while others may do so in the first few months. The question posed is often, which is best? That is solely determined by the one who is grieving. As long as you've taken into consideration your desire to make a change based on where you are on your grief journey and it makes sense for you, go ahead and make the change. Do so mindfully and purposefullly.
