How our loss of a person, either through death or separation, is also a loss of the way we related to that person – which is ultimately a loss of a part of us. Or let me put it this way, when we lose someone we must grieve the unique soul of the person we have lost. We grieve the soul connection.

And though grief can’t be neatened up, we can observe it, look at it as a series of tasks: the 4 tasks of mourning written by J William Worden:

1. To accept the reality of the loss
2. To process the pain of grief
3. To adjust to a world without the deceased
4. To find an enduring connection with the deceased in the midst of embarking on a new life

This episode focuses a lot on the fourth of these, how we carry forward the relationship into a new future without the connection; how we update our relationships with people who are no longer with us or alongside us, and how we find ways to fill the emptiness after a loss. Who do we turn to or where do we turn to help us transition between having and not having?
