I figured it was worse to be the one who was leaving than to be left behind. I moved away and had no-one except my husband. At least the friends we left behind still had each other. Maybe it's harder to be the lonely one whether you are the one moving alone or being left behind alone while everyone else moves on.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07193896306650823769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-911707550436621468.post-48278241078625689812012-01-11T10:19:56.808+10:002012-01-11T10:19:56.808+10:00Me too Joanna, me too.

It isn't really true that there is no buzz for me, but usually the responsibilities, exhaustion, and loss totally overwhelm any buzz.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17882558757262419263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-911707550436621468.post-54223564444763585402012-01-11T08:32:54.712+10:002012-01-11T08:32:54.712+10:00As an MK who moved fairly constantly during my chi...As an MK who moved fairly constantly during my childhood, I did find the goodbyes and upheaval difficult. But I also experienced a huge buzz every time we moved and I'm so grateful for the fascinating experiences I had and great friends I made. Undoubtedly things were harder for my parents, as they had much more responsibility and loss, but Wendy, I hope your kids' experience is as positive as mine.Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09657340578955726604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-911707550436621468.post-75165230445408528322012-01-10T21:15:36.994+10:002012-01-10T21:15:36.994+10:00This will probably be the most painful leaving you...This will probably be the most painful leaving you have had to deal with since we started the process (I know it's not our fault!) three years ago.

No buzz at the new place because you're dealing with culture shock etc. Oh, and if you're becoming a missionary people start to avoid you like you have the plague. That stinks.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17882558757262419263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-911707550436621468.post-13767284365814008442012-01-10T19:41:25.515+10:002012-01-10T19:41:25.515+10:00One word Al.
