We’re shutting down our community and I’m having a hard time figuring out how to navigate it. I don’t want the community to feel like they aren’t appreciated for the time they spent with us.

Sometimes we need to let go of things in order for them to come back better and stronger. I'm sure this is not the last you will hear from the community you helped build.

If the end is necessary it is better to let go now rather than later. It won't do you good trying to hold on to something that will only drain you. Hope for the best!

It happens, my guy. It doesn't mean that you were a bad manager. It only means that the time for the group to be together has ended. Maybe you can gather yourselves IRL and talk about it.

Happened to me last year. It's tough letting go especially if you had created strong bonds with the community. Just know that you positively impacted the community if this is how you feel. Good luck with your next assignment!

Things like these are beyond our control. There's nothing we can't do. I know they will understand it.

It cannot be helped, I guess. You can tell them that you appreciate them and the time they spent with you. Best of luck!
