Helping people cope with change. Change is a constant in life: We fall in love and get married. Children are born. We grow older.Our children grow up and move away. People we know and love die. We switch jobs and even careers. Even though changes come into every life, we are often uncomfortable with change. Change creates anxiety because the physical, social, emotional and spiritual environments with which we have become familiar and comfortable has been altered. While some changes, such as pregnancy and retirement, are generally happy and welcome events, every change can cause stress. This is because all change involves loss. For example, even if someone is moving to a new neighborhood where life will be more pleasant, the old way of life is being lost. There is an instinctive desire to cling to the old even while adjusting to the new. Embracing change is the sign of a healthy,well-adjusted person. However, even healthy,well-adjusted people may need help and guidance to cope with some changes. Tick like, if u need guidelines to follow when ministering to people faced with the challenge of change.
