Dinah, I think that were I in your situation, I would be angry because of the neat way your pastor tried to tie everything up. Truth is, things change a lot when a church changes pastors, and relationships come to an end.
Pastors move on for lots of reasons. Their moving affects a lot of people. When this happens, there's a lot of talk about how they are pursuing new opportunities and how it's all God's will. But that doesn't mean that people won't hurt and things won't change, sometimes for the better and sometimes not.
I know this because my dad is a pastor. This is a dance I have done.
When I lost my T both times, I wanted SOMETHING to happen. It amazed me that life could carry on as though nothing was wrong, even as I was struggling to find the strength to get out of bed.
Are you angry because this loss is being treated glibly?
