Everyone asks about the new place. Nobody asks what got left behind. You answer the questions you're given, say it's great, and then sit alone feeling something you don't have a name for.

A major life change works like a household move — real things break in transit, even while you're gaining something new. This book gives you the tool for telling the truth: a Moving Inventory, two honest columns of what you lost and what you gained, so gratitude and grief can both be real at once instead of one having to erase the other.

You moved. You're allowed to have lost something getting here. This book is the person finally asking what it was.
