Throughout life, our support network changes.
From baby to child, teen to adult, and into old age, life throws us constant curveballs—some small and some large.
As we transition from one chapter of life to another, we leave some people behind while leaning into old friends and new ones.
I’ve needed support this half-term, not just with juggling childcare but also with caring for my parents. There have been tears and laughter. The landscape of our lives can change in an instant.
I talk to many people weekly who are in the process of closing one chapter and moving on to another. It can be scary; we often feel vulnerable, and the thought of the unknown can be overwhelming.
I felt overwhelmed by the decisions I had to make and the need to find a plan, but I leaned into it with the help of a network of professional experts and supportive friends.
In the dark times, remember to find a friend and establish a plan. What feels impossible is always achievable; it just takes time.
Half-term comes around in a heartbeat
