50 Things to Help when Life Changes: Contemplative and Nature-based Teachings for Navigating Life Transitions

When our approach to navigating life embraces emotional, physical and spiritual needs, great transformation can occur. This book is about finding things to help when life changes. The end of a relationship, death, illness, financial or employment loss are all events that can turn life as we know it upside down. Somewhere in all this we need to find ways to care for ourselves, build resilience, and care for others too.

Change takes so many forms. Maybe you have been supporting a loved one for some time. Perhaps you are now finding yourself supporting someone you love whose life has suddenly changed completely. Perhaps it is you who has been given a life-limiting prognosis. Maybe you are facing starting life all over again as a relationship ends.

This book can help you find a place of calm in the midst of things. Over the past decade Georgina has used all of these techniques in different contexts from the workplace, talking to a stranger on the phone, being at the bedside in a hospice, sharing techniques with friends wanting to help a friend, helping the newly divorced woman figure out how to get her life back on track, creating blessings for the dead, comforting the bereaved, supporting someone as they start arduous medical treatment, being there for them when the doctor says, "see you in three months", and in navigating her own life transitions.
