Doing a temp check on the LBS is when the MLCer pops by or sends emails, texts, phone calls, etc. They do things to get a reaction out of us. If they come by the home, they are looking around to see if things are the same, remodeled and there are two places that they tend to check more frequently, i.e., the bedroom and the bathroom. Why? To see if someone has taken their place. They are also looking to see if we have changed in any way, i.e., happy, sad, the way we dress, hair style changes, lifestyle changes, etc.
They really don't realize that they are doing this...but they think that we should be right where they left us pre-crisis. Unfortunately, life doesn't work that way and we do have to move forward and live our lives to the fullest, while the Rip Van Winkles of the MLC world live by a slower clock. No one remains the same...we all change during crisis.
