Sorry to hear the misfortune to your close ones. Most people fear change, but we should embrace it, we change from the moment we are born, we change in our body we change in our mindset, and it has always been for the better, until a person decides comfort and security is the best for them. Although I am not judging, some people are fine with that and they are happy with having a secure job and same routine for 50 years, but for those of us who want more, inspire more, do more, be more, help more with no end, as no one can be done even if we lived for 10 000 years... for those.. face and embrace the change!
