[The work of mourning, getting through the loss]

Pain, mourning translate, in their indeterminacy of the affective experience, the suffering, the guilt, the anguish when the individuals are confronted with the death, the loss or the separation from the object. It doesn't matter if this object is a loved one or an abstraction... These different experiences each sign in their own way the human way of reacting to the inescapable encounter with this reality. To seize and overcome the experience of the affective experience makes it possible to understand and to put in form the significant mechanisms which underlie the processes of mourning. It also helps to apprehend its necessary and obligatory scope, given the attachment and identification that characterize the link between humans.
