Adventures in Changes, Transitions, and Deaths

ADVENTURES IN CHANGES, TRANSITIONS, AND DEATHS: PRIMER FOR LIFE'S MINOR AND MAJOR CHALLENGES AND PASSAGES is written for anyone who is undergoing, has undergone, or will undergo death, or a major ending or transition of any sort. This includes divorce, being fired, leaving home or having one's children leave home. It includes abrupt changes or endings such as having one's home collapse in an earthquake, receiving a serious injury, or having something precious stolen. It also includes gradual but definite changes such as: changes in behavioral patterns -- shifting out of a steady or an addictive relationship to a drug, a person, a behavior; outgrowing a stage of life, a philosophy, a religion or a cult; aging; having all one's oldest friends die off; or, undergoing the disease process, whether it is temporary, chronic or terminal. And, of course, we include the model of death with which we think we are so familiar: physical death, which is seen by many people as the ultimate of all deaths. Indeed, physical death -- fear of it, avoidance of it, viewing it as final -- is an excellent model for all the deaths, small and great deaths, that each and every one of us must endure. ... Death, the ending or death of anything - is a transition, a passage. is how you navigate this transition that will set the stage for your next beginning. The more you understand the process, the great adventure of transition and death, the more you can use the experience to consciously -- with your full attention at work upon it -- create the next phase of your life, design your new reality. ---Dr. Angela Brownemiller, also known as Dr. Angela(R), is an author, and a journalist, social thinker, clinician, psychotherapist, trainer, and speaker.
