The possibilites include:

Transition – Making Our Way Through Change

You may have heard the saying “change is inevitable, growth is optional”. We know that change is, in fact, an inevitable part of life and, yet, we often find ourselves grasping for ways to defy that reality. We resist, we deny, we try to control, we long for how it used to be, we get righteous about how we think it should be.

Understanding the transition process enables us to derive greater meaning from change that is occurring around us and also initiate change that is meaningful to us. We are able to normalize what is being felt, enlarge our capacity to empathize with others as they go though change and, finally, mobilize energy to move towards and embrace a new beginning.
