Saying Goodbye and Welcoming Hello

Saying 'goodbye' and welcoming 'hello' are both transitional process in life. I have to admit that it has been a challenging experience to encounter both these concurrently at this juncture.
I find that acknowledging emotions towards loss and allocating some "time-off" to mourn for the goodbye has actually helpful for me to be more readily to cope with new challenges in life while keeping an open mind to say 'hello' to a new life experience has helped me to accept the goodbye and move forwards in life.
