Other losses can be related to health, moves, and loss of roles that have been important parts of personal identity.

Case examples are provided to support the efforts of practitioners from a range of disciplines (e.g., social work, counseling, marriage and family therapy, nursing, clinical psychology) in busy clinical practices.
