Coming Home: Loss, Grief and Re-entry

By Judy Routamaa

Based on qualitative research, this book explores and analyzes issues surrounding the re-entry journey of cross-cultural mission workers. It aims to promote deeper understanding and increased awareness of the complex nature of the re-entry experience, while highlighting loss and grief as a key aspect of it. This book advocates the necessity of a substantially more proactive and rigorous approach in caring for mission personnel as they navigate the hugely challenging transition of "coming home," and concludes with suggestions for ways in which this may be achieved.
