This topic
is apropos to me for a variety of reasons, which I’ll get to at the end of this
post. But first, here are the great submissions
for this month.
Some posts wrote more about general transitions:
Migrainista Emily discusses many
of the transitions that her life has seen over the last eight years, and offers
some tips about how to cope with transitions, in the post, 5Lessons
I’ve Learned For Coping With Transitions.
Lupus Rhythms’ Talencia talks about
how everyday is a transition as she copes with her recent diagnosis, in the
post, Transitional Thoughts.
Cass, of
the blog The Wolf and Me, suggests
that for her, transitions are anything that deviates from her normal
routine. But she has learned to cope
with transitions by planning ahead. She
discusses this and more in the post, How
do you cope with transitions?
Duncan Cross talks about how he feels he
copes well with transitions because he enjoys change, which he thinks has
helped him in dealing with chronic illness, in the post, Coping with transitions.
And some posts were more about specific
transitional events:
In a really
poignant piece titled Exposed,
Maria of My Life Works Today, writes
about what it’s like to go from being a lupus patient to being a cancer
patient, and how her experience with lupus helped her with this new diagnosis.
Maureen
Kaech of the blog Day by Day with my Adrenals writes about how
despite many of the transitions that she has experienced in her life, finding
herself with an empty nest has been the hardest, in her post, How do I Deal with
Transition?
Sometimes, it is Lupus’ Iris
Carden talks about many of the transitions – both good and bad – that come with
moving, homeownership, and chronic illness, in the post, A
Moving Experience.
In my post, Am
I A Bad Patient Or Do I Have Bad Doctors?: When Is It Time To Dump Your Doc?,
I write about the transition of finding new doctors when you move, and the
difficulties that surround that.
Transition
was an appropriate theme for this edition of PFAM, because as I said in the
call for submissions post, I am stepping aside as the administrator of PFAM and
Duncan Cross, who started it all, is taking it over again.
I was so
honored when Duncan asked me to take it over when his life got too busy to do
it, but things have slowed down for him and picked up for me. So PFAM is back in his capable hands.
Duncan
will be hosting next month’s PFAM, and you can view the call for submissions here.
Thank you for reading my post! I shall enjoy reading through the other posts today! Much love to you and hope you are well xx
