I have read this blog post several times and each time I read it, I find something new and moving. Not attending the funeral is simply the best analogy for all the founders i have spoken to, who wanted to get the grieving over with and onto the next thing. I wish i had read this post when i was at the start of the letting go journey and realising that its an unavoidable chapter of the journey. Thank you so much for writing this (and this entire blog!)
Great post! Endings of all kinds, whether founder exits or another type of evolution of self, involve a grief process. We don't talk enough about the grief associated with letting go of a version of ourselves (vs something external). And often we are inundated with all the emotions that come up that it's confusing - and hard to process what's going on, at the time.
