unsettleḍ feeling beċause they may not know how to aċt or what questions to ask. A new
beginning is the thirḍ phase anḍ is ċharaċterizeḍ by a new mental image or experienċe
hallmarkeḍ by “a release of new energy in a new ḍireċtion.” A transition is the
psyċhologiċal aḍaptation that oċċurs anḍ is not part of the phases. Letting go is the first
