FInding My Way examines the universal human experience of loss and grief from a transformational model; that any loss can ultimately transform our lives in ways we could have never imagined. The author, John M. Schneider, PhD, is a clinical psychologist and professor emeritus with over forty years experience in working with peoples' losses and has formed a unifying model for understanding the nature and process of grief that vastly expands previous concepts (such as Kubler-Ross' five stages). Grief does not follow pre-determined stages, but rather proceeds along some common phases and confronts us with three fundamental questions: what is lost?, what remains?, and what is possible? Schneider's model is also based in clinical research using an inventory he developed over thirty years, the Response To Loss Instrument.
