Summary: A chapter giving an overview of the five phases of making transitions of any kind: Engagement, leaving, transition, entering, and re-engagement.
Gems: It affects not only the person making the transition or change, but also those who will be left behind. Emotional disengagement usually precedes actual physical leaving. If one leaves without trying to make some peace, that memory persists as a burden, sometimes called an "invisible backpack." Get mentoring for entering. Renegade types are still looking for friends..Missionary children, by virtue of having grown up in an environment of trusted people, especially need to be forewarned regarding this phenomenon!
