Although the process of navigating endings and new beginnings is almost always complex, we can say we are making a healthy transition when our process takes us through four phases: • We accept that endings are a death. • We recognize that endings and waiting in the confusing “in-between” will often take much longer than we think. • We view endings and waiting as inextricably linked to our personal maturing in Christ. • We affirm that endings and waiting are the gateway to new beginnings.
