Persons seem to feel they understand this and constantly use the expressions “I know how you feel” or “everything is going to be okay”. NO! You will never know how I feel or that everything will be okay because you didn’t lose the same person I did, you didn’t have the same attachment as I did and you sure didn’t have the…

Change is endless in today’s organization. Change is an important transition in an organization.

It is comparable to entering a stage of shock. The act of denial actually is a protective mechanism that helps a person cope with the overwhelming…
