Glenn, I've read that major change (good or bad) is traumatic, and that the more major changes you deal with at the same time, the worse the trauma. I started writing this poem in 2018 when I retired, but I didn't get very far with it because I was too depressed to write. Ironically, going back to it now, in the actual Year of the Snake, I was finally able to complete it. Though I am specific about what I was losing, I wanted to leave the content open enough that it could apply to others dealing with change in their lives. I am glad it worked for you.
Susan
