Luckily, we are still in the summer as it will officially end on September 22. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, some would say that the summer ends when kids go back to school. If Bambi is not mistaken, it is this week in some Canadian provinces like Qu\u00e9bec. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Others would argue that it will end after the long weekend of labour day, which falls on Monday September 5 this year. It is not for nothing that many North American universities start their academic year immediately after Labour day (or the last long weekend of the summer season).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless, Bambi would add that the end of the summer is also a mindset; a readiness, so to speak, and surely a concrete preparation for many of us. In other terms, it is both a realization and an acceptance that the end of a season means the beginning of another one. Indeed, Bambi once wrote on her blog the following: “Even if Bambi loves the summer (in which she was born), she adores the fall season, especially in our part of North America with its magical colours”. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, we can argue that grieving the end of a stage is like the little good-bye we say to a season: It is a transition from one stage to the other. It is all about moving forward in life and learning to live in a transformed way. For instance, it may be without the presence of a loved one, whether a dear human or a pet. It may also be with a new dawn, dream, or a life project. It may also be with a renewal of ourselves, even within the continuation of the same processes, relations, or journeys. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyhow, transitions are usually a vulnerable period of a life. Luckily, they also carry an incredible potential for learning and growth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

May your forthcoming seasonal transition be smooth and rewarding, regardless of where you will be at that particular time of your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To conclude this post, which seems a bit too philosophical even if Bambi does not pretend to take herself or life too seriously :), here are a few songs referring to the end of the summer or start of the autumn season!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
