Just stop! Do it like lobsters

Life never stands still: every day we all learn something new, experience something great or face a new challenge.

If we are sad, we comfort each other by saying: “Life goes on.“ Well that's true, but sometimes it's better to stop for a moment and say: “Take your time. It's okay if you're sad.“

What was that again with the lobsters? They hide after their escape from the old shell. The term molting is used to refer to the entire cyclical process of preparing for, undergoing, and recovering from that act. For lobsters, molting is a continual process during their whole life. That's the same for us human beings, even though in psychological terms. 

The lobster remains secluded for several days while its shell hardens and then re-emerges to engage in its normal activities.
We could learn a good deal from lobsters.
