How voluntary relocation can create unexpected grief

I moved away from my hometown five years ago for work and I still cry when I see photos of the coffee shop where I used to write, but people say I chose this so I shouldn't complain.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Even chosen changes involve real loss of place, community, and identity that society dismisses because the move was voluntary.
