ABSTRACT
Objective It is easy to begin to think that your life will carry on down the same path, with roughly the same people. Then one day something happens that changes everything. Often the change involves some form of loss: loss of a loved one; loss of a place of work; loss of something safe and known in one’s life; loss of self-respect; loss of the respect of others; loss of a feeling of safety in being in the world; or loss of one’s health. Whatever it is, things are literally never the same again.
