“We are wired for attachment in a world of impermanence. Each attachment that is broken, each change, whether as seemingly insignificant as the pipes of an organ or as profound as the death of a parent is a loss that our “wiring” can scarcely sustain.” - Robert Neimeyer

Attachment is a real thing. It's a huge part of why people seek and have intimate relationships and it's a huge part of why grieving hurts so much.

Human nature is built more to solidify bonds and attachments and less to endure breaking them.

It's normal to suffer or struggle after loss. Humans aren't wired for loss and it requires a lot of psychological change to endure, manage, and reconcile 💚
