Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: members leaving the community

[Dahako (Dahako]

Hi all -

As a cohousing member who moved out this summer, I can tell you I really didn't 
and don't want a closure ceremony. My relationships with my former neighbors 
aren't over, just changed.  Putting physical distance between you and the 
people you care about is not closing the relationships - it changes them and 
tests them, so there is definitely great grief involved.  And yet, at least to 
me, once a connection, always a connection.

All this is still evolving for me and my family, so I may have more to add 
later (especially as we are seriously considering diving into cohousing again 
in our new locale).
