One set of questions might be to ask for stories and lessons from other  
transitions. What are the skills and lessons learned?  What of that can  they 
apply to this transition?  
 
I might focus a lot more on their dreams for retirement than their  
transition.  Having a strong positive image helps to move us through this  kind of 
transition.  Just as in career work stories about most fulfilling  activities in 
their lives so far, what has brought them satisfaction helps  define a positive 
core of who they are and the foundation for their retirement  activities. I'd 
also invite them to make wishes for their future and  imagine it as we do in 
generic protocols. Be glad to talk more about this  if you wish.  I do 
end-of-life work -- retirement is certainly  included.

Hi Everyone:

I was  wondering what great questions you have used when helping people
think  through an impending retirement. As they transition through
denial,  possibly anger, fear of the unknown, and towards some excitement
- how can  AI be used to help the transition go smoothly and spark some
creative  thinking about one's next "chapter".

Looking forward to your  responses!
