It has almost become normal to reorient oneself even in later stages of life, yet many feel lost, abandoned, or insecure when they suddenly find themselves starting over because their original life plan no longer works. The feeling of having failed or the guilt of having ended a relationship, from which perhaps children have even emerged who are affected by the decision, troubles many in this situation. With great empathy and analytical insight, Alexandra Hartmann describes the natural progression of a relationship and why certain behavioral patterns keep repeating. She provides insight into the possibilities of finding a new relationship and how to navigate the situation, especially concerning children. She invites readers to take a close look while still being gracious with themselves.
