Transition happens throughout our lives. It's the excitement of getting ready for marriage or college, awaiting the arrival of a brand new family member, or changing jobs. It's the unknown of becoming an "empty nester," or finishing a career and wondering "what next"? It's making the hard decisions around moving, changing careers, considering divorce, or relocating an elderly parent (or ourselves) to an independent or care facility.

Life Transition can be exciting or difficult, and they are always significant. They can be perplexing, even frightening, and they may have consequences far beyond what is expected.
