Attachment to the Past

Our existence as a beings does not cede by the end of life. We continue to live in the memories of significant others..

The present is but a continuation of the past unless intervened by death. Our memories of the past exist independently from our conscious world.

Grieving is an attachment to the past,.as reflected in this painting. One of the most impressive concepts of grieving is reflected in the famous painting " The Scream " by Munch, a Norwegian artist.

The loss of beloved one is perceived differently in different cultures. However the process of accepting a loss is universal and it goes through estabilished stages such as anger, disbelieve, negotiation and finally acceptance.
