Hello. I Love You. Goodbye.
A short, honest guide to crossing life’s big thresholds without drifting through them.
We live in a culture obsessed with the “Life Well Lived” – the highlight reel, the performance, the polite story.
This free section from my book, Hello, I Love You, Goodbye, is an invitation to something different: a life lived well.
In it, you’ll discover:
- Why drifting is the default when life changes
- The three phases every meaningful transition moves through:Â Hello. I Love You. Goodbye.
- How to start facing change with more honesty, courage, and care
Whether you’re facing change in your family, your work, or somewhere quieter and more private, this is a calm, grounded place to begin.
I’ll send the chapters and occasional reflections on navigating change. No noise, no games. You can unsubscribe at any time.
This is for people standing at a threshold
These free chapters are for you if:
- Something in your life is ending or beginning
- You’re supporting someone else through a big change
- Your work involves holding space for others: leaders, HR, carers, clergy, therapists, community builders
- Or you simply have a sense that “I can’t just keep drifting through this”
You don’t need to have the right language. You don’t need to be “spiritual” or subscribe to any belief system. You just need to be willing to stop, pay attention, and take the next honest step.
Who’s behind this work?
I’m Stuart L. Morris. For more than thirty years I’ve worked at the thresholds of human life: births, deaths, marriages, separations, retirements, redundancies, and quiet turning points no one posts about.
I create ceremonies, rites of passage, retreats, and keynotes for people and organisations standing at these edges, so they can feel what’s really happening and move forward with clarity, courage, and care.
These chapters are a simple way to begin that work, privately, in your own time.
