Transitioning can be difficult, esp. when you don't have someone to help you.

My husband left the military 5 years before he wanted to. He had had so many problesm with his thyroid that they couldn't get under control that he had to leave at 20 years and he had wanted to stay in until 25. So he had to transition to civilian life which is difficult. Then last year and part of this year, he was unemployed for the first time in his life. We worked together to help him transition to that.
Life is full of transitions. Home to college, college to a job or back home again, Home to hospital, hospital to home or to rehab or to a rehab nursing home or to a nursing home.
There are many transitions. Some are more difficult than others. What transitions have you made? What made the treansitions hard? Did anyone help make the transitions easier for you or help you with the transitions? Are you making a transition from something to something else now?
It seemed like at college the transitons, I didn't get help. They did try to help me get a job, a little. But going to college, they didn't even want to give me a tour!

You are right. We encounter different transitions in life. These transitions that are happening in our life is one step for us to be a better person. It will be good if we share this transitions we are going through with our partner. There must be unity and harmony in order to succeed.

True, it's better with another person. But often people aren't that lucky, like I was pretty much on my own for college. Take care and thanks for responding.

Hi writers 
So many of them... from a kid to a teenager to a workaholic to an ailing guy forced to stay indoors.
The worst so far has been - from a workaholic to a house arrested guy. But I have been a fighter almost all time and I am learning to have my workaround ready to combat this transition.
Always keep the doors open and view almost everything as an opportunity or blessing from the lord and that really helps - worked fine for me and hence I can vouch for this.

Right now there are so many people here trying to change their lives and going through transitions. It's hard for some of them. Glad you worked it out. Thanks and take care.
