Managing difficult changes
All families have their ups and downs and all of us react in different ways. Life changes such as moving house, divorce, birth and death can be difficult because they often mean coping with feelings of loss.
I spent a long time talking to a Parentline call-taker today, and was surprised how long he spent listening, giving advice when needed, with really useful inner exploration for myself.
Felt calmer in going forward and less anxious. He has challenged me, which is what I needed too, not just a passive listener.
If everyone on Parentline is like the call-taker I spoke with, they will be making a huge difference to someone’s life.
