Homesickness and back trouble healed

Several years ago I was given a substantial promotion overseeing the start-up of a new business location. The promotion involved my husband and me relocating to a new state. It necessitated selling our loved home and saying goodbye to a well-loved neighborhood. Nevertheless, we moved to the new city, where we found a home and my husband secured a new position in his line of work.

The start-up at this new location was very exciting. It included many new and rewarding opportunities for professional growth. However, the newness eventually began to wear off and was replaced by homesickness.

My husband and I missed our family and former home and friends. The new location just didn’t seem to be a good fit for us. A gloomy feeling was cast over our days and work. To top it off, I felt something shift in my back, which made sitting and sleeping very difficult.
