I used to really kick out at changes in my life as you know but now as I age I tend to think okay I have coped with worse and wait to see what will happen. It is wisdom born of pain as the song says. So maybe we do waste a lot of time being anxious and worried and angry but we are human and frail and often uncertain both about life and our own ability to deal with it. We do learn but it is a slow process.

My son does not like change at all.

Even small changes, like moving his bed, or me moving the lounge furniture around. 

He coped the least when I first became disabled. 

I'm hoping he'll "change" as he gets older, but I'm not holding my breath!

Janelle Change is hard. But the one thing in life you can be sure of other than death is that things will change. So learning to accept and embrace change is a survival skill. I do hope your son finds a way to learn to work with change as a good thing.

Me too, Heather.  He's only 16, so there's time.

It's like stroke, isn't it?

We can accept it and run with it, or try to run away from it.

true and running away from change only creates more change.

I know change is not easy for me... now.. Routine , now, helps me with memory. Change , in general, can make someone uneasy for they are stepping out of their comfort zone. What makes us happy- what we know.. I , now, have learned through my practices that change is a part of life and life is like water. Water never moves in a regimented form, So we all must become that which carves new pathways.   But....  That being said, I'm still learning to fully commit it to my head space lol
