Ambiguous Loss and Emotional Presence
The speaker describes a feeling of ambiguous loss, where a person is physically present but emotionally absent, leading to a sense of loneliness and grief. This can occur when someone is there but not emotionally engaged due to reasons like Alzheimer's, deployment, disappearance, or miscarriage, creating a disconnect and a feeling of emotional absence.
