Read Chapters 25 and 26,
John is a 42-year-old widower who has been receiving case management services from you for the last two months.

While planning services for John, you both agreed that one of his goals would be to effectively cope with his loss. The agency providing group therapy services worked with him to develop objectives for how he would achieve this, one of which included consistent participation in the sessions. John, however, has missed several sessions as a result of needing to tend to Kim's increasing agitation and fear. Ultimately, John tells you that a "fresh start" is needed and decides to move with his daughter out of the state.
