What Is the Fossett Framework?

The Fossett Framework is a structured way of understanding how loss affects identity.Most people focus on what happened to them.This framework focuses on what changed within them.It follows a simple progression:Disruption → Disintegration → Meaning-Making → Re-formationIt helps answer the question:Who did I become after what happened… and who can I become now?
