It’s been nearly a month now since my Father passed away, and I can certainly say that knowing the change curve intimately does not give me the ability to circumvent it. Common change theory suggests that every change to our routine lives effects a response. After all we are closed loop systems, and our neurology is designed to maintain stability, so any impulse of change will be acted against by our systems.
And so I am destined to ride out the change curve whether I know about it or not. Perhaps knowing about it is actually worse, because I’m aware of the stages, I’m just not in control of when I will reach them. (more…)
