Honoring Loved Ones

Class is Human Development

The attachment view of bereavement sees the benefit of maintaining continued bonds with those who have passed (refer to pages 275-278 and Lesson 16). For example, I feel privileged that I have multiple items throughout my house that were passed on to me after relatives’ deaths. They elicit memories and allow me to share their stories. In the television series “This is Us” a daughter’s ritual is to continue the practice of watching the Super Bowl with her father. After his passing, she watches the game while her father’s urn is on the table by her.

Describe at least two practices you have witnessed (in yourself or others) of the attachment view. How does this contrast wit the traditional view? Your post should consist of at least 200 words.
