SayPro Explain the concept of separation and loss

Understanding Separation, LossIt is only within the context of the adult-child relationship that children accomplish the various developmental tasks related to psychological maturation. Separation from or loss of parents due to death, divorce, incarceration or removal to foster care will have a major impact on the child’s psychological development and possibly on his/her cognitive and physical development as well.Although the effects of parental separation/loss will vary from child to child and family to family, the negative impact this has can be minimized if the child can live in an environment that is supportive to the grieving process and able to offer an explanation and understanding of his life events. Unfortunately, many, many children who have suffered this trauma have not received sufficient help in resolving loss issues and are, to one degree or another, psychologically “stuck” at the age of the loss of their primary attachment objects.Humans have a biological need for connection to other people. In the beginning of life, the attachments we form ensure that someone is meeting our needs for food, interaction, care and rest. When primary attachments are broken, such as the reliance and affection we have for a parent or caregiver, we first engage in reattaching behaviours such as seeking, anxiety, yearning, and pleading. If the attachment cannot be re-established, we begin to grieve.Types of LossesThere are two classifications for loss: primary and secondary.Primary losses are obvious losses, such as a person, object or job. Primary losses are easy to identify.Secondary losses, sometimes referred to as “hidden losses”, are harder to recognize and are most often associated with the impact or meaning of the loss. For example, a primary loss is the death of a pet. The associated secondary loss would be the comfort, companionship, activity and responsibility the pet provided. We all experience loss. Whether we lose someone we love through death or a change in relationship, the loss of a home, our belongings, a pet, an income, an important opportunity, or community connection, all loss has an impact on our physical and emotional selves.The personal impact of any loss depends on the meaning associated to the loss. For instance, the loss of a distant relative may not trigger a large degree of emotional response whereas the loss of a treasured possession may be truly upsetting. When managing loss, it helps to first recognize the primary loss and then to define the possible secondary issues which may be associated with the loss. Secondary losses may be harder to identify, but identification of these losses is important as they can become the issues which may impede healing if they are unacknowledged or not addressed.
