Loss of self

Whenever a loss occurs in the world, there is also the potential for the person to experience a loss of self. Someone who loses a job may also lose a sense of herself as a valued employee, and someone who loses a child, may lose a sense of himself as a parent and caretaker. The grief pattern works equally well with this kind of loss, but it is respectful to acknowledge this aspect of a loss, which can sometimes be more important than the others.
