We grieve only for that which we have loved, and the transient nature of life makes love and loss intimate companions. In Healing Through the Shadow of Loss Deborah Morris Coryell describes grief as the experience of not having anywhere to place our love, of losing a connection, an outlet for our emotion. To heal grief we have to learn how to continue to love in the face of loss. Embracing loss allows us to awaken our most profound connections to other people.
Part of the grieving process is finding our place in the world again following a loss. We tend to define ourselves in relation to those we love--as "Laura’s mother," "Jim’s wife," or "Stacey’s friend." The loss of a loved one is jarring to these foundations and can make us question our own sense of reality. In addition, the body must adjust to the sensory changes of having lost a part of our life, a part of our daily existence.
Coryell draws attention to our society’s tendency to rank losses in a "hierarchy of grief." She reminds us that all losses must be grieved in their own right and on their own terms, and that we must honor the "big" losses as well as the "small" ones. Paying attention to even the most minute experiences of loss can help us to be more in tune with our responses to the greater ones, allowing us to once again become part of the rhythm of life from which we have become disconnected.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 当我们所爱的人去世时，我们感到悲痛。而由于生命的短暂，所爱的人离我们而去又是不可避免的。作者把悲痛解释为无处施爱，失去情感出口的人生体验。治愈悲痛就是要学会在丧亲之后继续去爱，要唤醒我们与其他人的深切联系。不管失去的是什么人，不管悲痛是“大”还是“小”，都在提醒我们，我们与其他生命的联系又断了一环。
