I'd imagine that grief is definitely a part of it.....Adapting to change is difficult, especially when the change puts limitations on you that help you feel sad or trigger other feelings that may not be rational, but just "are". Remember that it's ok to feel whatever you're feeling - and that you don't have to act on any one particular feeling. It's not easy, but the feelings will eventually dissipate and can also be addressed with pdoc during your sessions or the next time you're able to speak with her.
