14. Attachments Beyond Death - Ruth Lawson-McConnell

Our attachments don't die with the person we lost. In many cases
they do intensify but in the absence of their physical presence
it's vitally important to redefine what kind of relationship we
can still have with our person. In this episode Dr. Ruth
Lawson- McConnell explains the 6 stages of attachment, and how we
can redefine them in order to foster a new way to relate with our
loved one who is not physically present.
