From Loss to Renunciation

Issue 4 : October, 2012
ISBN : 9782749234342


From birth to death, loss, grief and renunciation are part of life and build the foundations of each individual’s identity. May it be the loss of the other, loss of oneself or in oneself, may it be an imposed or necessary grief, may it be fantasized or real, bereavement concerns the individual just like the group and every clinician is confronted daily, when encountering his patient, to this question of loss.

Bereavement counseling is more or less facilitated or obstructed according to the echo of the experience of loss in each individual, according to one’s story or psychic functioning. Therefore, form sadness to intense pain, from desperate grip on a lost object to potential renunciation, overcoming this hardship can be declined in various matters and shows multiple clinical shapes and forms.

But loss and grief also carries within mutative and fertile movements: they can deliver a dynamic of changes, separating the individual from mortifying repetitions. Therapeutic pathways such as those offered by a care institution may be an opportunity to redevelop processes towards new investments.
