We all go through transitions, some are easier than others. Many of us have friends and family to help us in our transitions (marriage, childbirth, death, empty nest, divorce). However, many times our transition involves friends and family and we want or need outside help, advice and support with a safe person.
Most of us manage to get through whatever life throws at us, but we can often do it with less pain and stress if we have a guide, someone to show us the way, and to let us know what to expect, or just to listen while we experience the transition.
