So why do I feel so sad?” It’s something I hear often from clients—people who walked away on their own terms. Retirement. A buyout. A planned exit. And yet… something feels off. There’s a heaviness they didn’t expect. A version of themselves they miss. When a decision is logical, even strategic, it’s hard to make space for the grief that can still follow. But that doesn’t mean the grief isn’t real. And it doesn’t mean you made the wrong choice. This carousel explores why we can feel so much after leaving a role—even when it was our decision. If this speaks to you, I hope it helps you name what’s been quietly waiting to be acknowledged.
