Life Transition
A major life transition closes one chapter of our life and opens a new one: losing a job, starting a new job, ending a relationship, getting married, getting divorced, getting graduated, going back to school, having or adopting a child, experiencing significant financial gain or loss, buying or selling a home, moving or relocating, new health issues, and loss or death.
