“Parting is such sweet sorrow.” Newsflash: that 16 year old in a Shakespeare play? Wrong. It’s not sweet, it sucks. But remember, we live in a highly interconnected world, full of phones, Zoom, social media, and all manner of travel. Regardless, give yourself permission to be sad. Make your goodbyes heartfelt & real, cry, hug, and above all, let the person you’re parting from know how and why you value their presence.
