The Loss a Love

The closing of my Sensaria business can be like loosing a love. 

We've all fallen in love and either our lover has left us or we have left him/or her. 

You miss the times you had together. When you get up in the morning you miss their presences. You can't remember what you did before you were in that relationship.

You find yourself at times getting angry that things didn't turn out the way you wanted them. You get sad that they did not live up to your expectations. But then you think of the good times, and you start to miss them all over again.  

I try to explain to people who have never gone through this but they can not understand. You want your love to come back. You hope this is all a bad dream but, you know they are not going to come back to you. I realized this is the stages of grief. Most people relate a person's death but I'm relating it to a business death. 

There is the grief model called "The 7 Stages of Grief" from Recover-from-grief.com:

7 Stages of Grief...

1. SHOCK & DENIAL
2. PAIN & GUILT-
3. ANGER & BARGAINING-
4. "DEPRESSION", REFLECTION, LONELINESS-
5. THE UPWARD TURN-
6. RECONSTRUCTION & WORKING THROUGH-
7. ACCEPTANCE & HOPE-

 
Grant yourself permission to feel however way you feel. Work through this process to get to the acceptance and the hope stage. The most important thing is Don't Give Up on your business dreams and give yourself time to move on. 

You will find another love!
