 When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support,  to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are.  They are there for the reason you need them to be.  Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.  Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.  Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.  What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done.  The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.  

There are many different responses to crisis. Most survivors have intense feelings after a traumatic event but recover from the trauma; others have more difficulty recovering — especially those who have had previous traumatic experiences, who are faced with ongoing stress, or who lack support from friends and family — and will need additional help.

Abstract
Research findings in the areas of driver and rider education as reported in the literature
over the past twenty years are summarized. Based on previous decades of research conducted in
traffic and motorcycle safety, an original idea for rider education is introduced: safety renewal.

The concept of safety renewal is discussed as an integral part of a comprehensive rider education
and training system that is distinguished by multiple training courses with multiple entry points
that meet the lifelong learning needs of current and prospective motorcyclists. Safety renewal is
hypothesized to be correlated with significant positive outcomes. This concept is contrasted with
the previous measures of static results tied to a single rider education course. In addition, this
paper reviews a proposal for a longitudinal research study that will seek to define, measure and
document the effects of safety renewal on trained motorcyclists contrasted to results from
untrained riders and riders trained through a single novice course.
