I’ve become close with four lovely women at work. Now some are leaving. Will my office life ever be the same? Ask Lisi
I work in an office with four lovely women. We have all become very good friends the past few years. We worked closely together on Zoom during COVID, and became involved in each other’s personal lives. We actually had a big talk when we returned to the office in person, allowing each other to pull back, if that felt more comfortable.
Now one woman is retiring because her husband is being relocated for his work and another woman has to go on medical leave as she is unwell. When fall comes along it will just be me, the divorced woman, and a very young woman whom I adore but have nothing in common with.Don’t waste your energy worrying. There’s nothing you can do to stop the change and keep things the way they were, but that doesn’t have to mean things will change for the worse.
When fall comes along, be warm and welcoming to the newcomers. They may be lovely and two new relationships will be born. Or not. But give them a chance.Regarding the mom upset her daughter didn’t acknowledge Mother’s Day :“In response to the mother who ‘can’t even look’ at her daughter after being so hurt about missing Mother’s Day. I am a mother of two children who have just finished university during the pandemic. What your writer describes is normal behaviour for that age group.
“My husband and I discovered very quickly that old routines, like family vacations and holidays, cannot be counted on with adult children. This is not a sign of disrespect or lack of love, but more of growing independence. There is an adage that we must, as parents, provide both ‘roots and wings.’ With roots, there is a knowledge of belonging ; the wings are recognition of the need for autonomy. Children need both from their families to become productive, well-functioning and happy adults.
