Growth is metamorphosis. You'll have to let go of who you were and become someone new. You don't lose the past, you digest it. Whether you're going from single to married, IC to manager, you have to fully embrace the role you take. Sometimes it feels like a step downwards - divorces, lost family members, career changes. Some have kids and can't do the things they once did. And in time, you'll pick up injuries and health problems. If you plan to fight and resist change, do so, but if you can't, then accept the new roles.
