Death and Change

While grieving for a loved one that has passed away have you ever been subject to the idea that you should be cautious of changing things in your life during that time? I have and I was thinking about that today for some reason. From that idea, during times of grieving I have experienced, I decided to worry heavily about any change. To this day I still think about when I all of the sudden moved out of my apartment when my Grandmother passed away. I thought I did something incorrect because I was grieving and that was a big change. I've come to the conclusion though that while caution is good, being overly cautious, like in the aforementioned situation, isn't such a good thing. Change will happen in someway or another when a loved one dies. They're not there anymore, it is just the reality of the way things are. I'm starting to think sometimes desires or thoughts you have had that may be for the good become strong resolutions when something final like that happens in your life. And those things in turn can be the turning point of something extraordinary. After all who knows if I would have met my future wife and would have a wonderful son with her like I do if I hadn't moved out of that apartment. But I do know that events since I moved out led in that direction and I am tremendously grateful they have.
