Sometimes, friendships begin to feel different, family relationships shift, and the people we once felt closest to may not feel as close anymore.
Sometimes there is a clear reason. Other times, life simply takes us in different directions.
These changes can bring a mix of emotions. Sadness, confusion, disappointment, relief, and even guilt can all exist together.
It is okay to grieve a relationship that has changed, even when that person is still in your life. It is okay to need different boundaries, and it is okay to make room for relationships that feel more supportive of who you are today.
Not every relationship is meant to stay the same. Some grow with us, some need tending, and some may look different as we move through different seasons of life.
If you are finding these changes difficult to navigate, you do not have to make sense of everything on your own. Sometimes, having a space to explore these feelings can help you find clarity and a way forward.
