Deep dives
Responses to Loss: Restore vs. Replace
When faced with loss, individuals often respond by either seeking to restore what was lost or to replace it with something new. The desire to restore reflects a longing to return to a prior state, such as trying to revive a significant relationship or recreate a familiar life. Alternatively, replacing involves moving on quickly, like entering a rebound relationship after a breakup or substituting bad habits with new alternatives. While both responses are natural, it's essential to evaluate whether these actions are instinctual or intentionally chosen, as blindly replacing can lead to unresolved feelings and complications in future relationships.
