As you find yourself standing at the crossroads of departure, embarking on the journey back to your passport country, I want to offer you a warm embrace of support and encouragement. The process of re-entry is a unique and transformative experience, one that begins long before you set foot on familiar soil. Today, we’ll explore Phase 1: Pre-departure Preparation, a crucial period that sets the tone for a successful re-entry.
- Reflecting and Celebrating Growth:
In this initial phase, I invite you to pause and reflect on the moments and experiences that have shaped your time abroad, if possible. Embrace the joys and challenges that have molded you into the person you are today. Celebrate your growth, for it is a testament to your resilience and courage. A re-entry debriefing process will help you unpack these experiences.
- Establishing Healthy Goodbyes:
Saying farewell to your host country can be a bittersweet experience. It’s natural to feel a mix of emotions as you bid adieu to the people and places that have become dear to your heart. During this phase, we will walk alongside you as you navigate these emotions and establish healthy goodbyes. Embrace the art of letting go and making space for new beginnings, while honoring the memories and connections you’ve made.
- Reconnecting with Loved Ones:
As you prepare to return home, the significance of reconnecting with family, churches, and supporters cannot be overstated. These connections are the threads that weave a support network to welcome you back with open arms. Together, we’ll create a thoughtful plan to rekindle these relationships, ensuring a strong foundation for your re-entry journey.
