Losses are universal but unique to situations and individuals,

here is a model for approaching any loss, change and ending.

Whenever there is a change in life, a loss needs to be acknowledged. Death brings so many layers of losses, but so do non-death events. Even milestone events of celebration, such as retirement, graduation, marriage, and having children, bring about significant changes to our identities and sense of purpose.

Beyond personal events that have a great impact on us include social issues, political policy, climate change, cost of living, burnout, employee retention, caregiving, dashed expectations, housing shortages, financial stress, and a purposeful and meaningful existence.

Processing these changes is never a linear process; instead, it requires guided conversations to address the multiple underlying losses. Understanding, naming, and addressing the losses affords opportunities to reframe and approach loss with more agency and intentionality. A guided conversation to understand the changes in your relationships and experiences will ease the anxiety of navigating the days ahead.

Understanding why you are feeling the way you do likely has to do with your past narrative, relationships, and experiences with change.

Having a model to discuss the impacts of change across multiple dimensions of life helps us understand the emotions we bring with us, what can and cannot be controlled, and how we have the agency to shape our future experiences and relationships.

Whatever your change, we have a way to help you navigate, bring clarity to the present, and focus on the call to action that change is bringing to you, your family, community, country, and soulfulness.
