The phrase implies both the newness of each of those circumstances, as well as the necessity that they will need to be normalized, integrated into the reality of our daily lives.<\/p>\n<p>But there is a sizable middle ground between the event that precipitates the need for a \u201cnew normal\u201d and its final acceptance. I find myself there as I mourn <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/inspiring-stories\/stories-of-faith-and-hope\/how-a-faith-community-can-support-us-through-grief\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the loss of my father,<\/a> who died in September. The phrase keeps coming up in conversation, and as helpful and true as it is, it has made me realize that \u201cnormal\u201d is the last word I would use to describe the fragile place I currently occupy. <\/p>\n<p>For example, the \u201cnew normal\u201d is to have <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/life-advice\/4-ways-to-cope-with-grief-during-the-holidays\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Thanksgiving without Dad<\/a>, then to remember him on what would have been his 75th birthday just a few days later. <\/p>\n<p>The \u201cnew normal\u201d is also for my son to wonder if he can \u201cstill call it Gigi and Pops\u2019 house, even though Pops isn\u2019t there anymore.\u201d (Yes, he can, we told him.)<\/p>\n<p>In other words, during this year of firsts, the new normal is a time of transition, not of arrival. Not for nothing, but once we\u2019ve settled into new routines and emotional patterns, our \u201cnormal\u201d won\u2019t be quite so new anymore, will it? <\/p>\n<p>It strikes me that <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/how-to-navigate-change-more-positively\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this is something to be celebrated<\/a>, not fretted over. Part of living positively is meeting ourselves where we are, wherever we are. And as I continue to navigate this in-between time, this period of slowly\u2014and sometimes unsteadily\u2014accepting my father\u2019s absence from the earth, I recognize that each step along the way is a worthwhile part of a healthy grieving process.<\/p>\n<p>The same idea would apply to more positive life changes, like a new home or job, as well as the challenges of the end of a relationship or a difficult medical reality. A \u201cnew normal\u201d isn\u2019t something any of us step into all at once. It\u2019s something we become, move toward, and, eventually, accept.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s not be in a rush to reach that destination. The <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/seasonal-prayers\/4-one-word-prayers-of-hope-in-a-season-of-change\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">journey has much to teach us<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cThe new normal\u201d is one of those phrases that can accurately apply to a wide variety of life situations, including a medical diagnosis, death, divorce, retirement or change in job or home.
