• The final stage of group development is appropriately called endings or the termination of an individual member from the group stirred feelings about loss and fears of the future for others. For workers, the termination process may arouse unresolved conflicts concerning their own earlier losses. The ending may be for an individual member, the current worker, or the group as a whole. Whichever ending occurs, however, the group as a whole and its individual members all experience some sense of loss and need for adaptation to a changed situation without the group or with a differently constituted group. Group members and the worker are certain to have ambivalent feelings about the ending. The successful group, usually has become a fairly predictable and secure place in which strong connections have been made between the worker and members and among the members.
