Abstract

I believe human connections are established through the universal experience of loss. Now I'm not saying all human connections are found through loss, most of them are through joy, common interest, etc. But in my experience when going through loss one of the only ways to feel a little less alone, is to speak with someone who understands your pain. Shared grief can bring down walls that once were built to the sky. And that's exactly what happened.
