We have been experiencing loss ever since. We now lose from conception to the grave. We can lose in utero when parents smoke, drink alcoholic beverages, and indulge in other drugs. When parents fight and use loud angry voices the unborn reacts negatively. Newborns lose that warm spot under mother's heart where they are rocked amniotically and fed umbilically.
Small children lose position when a sibling is born.
They also experience separation anxiety when they are taken to daycare and nursery school. Teens lose identity, dependence, and the security of childhood. Young adults lose their parental home when they go to college or marry. Middle-aged people lose dreams and children who leave the nest. Older people lose health, independence, mobility, friends, and future.
