As one reflects on loss, the brain layers meaning onto the experience, leading to a tangled web of feelings that can be overwhelming. A poignant metaphor of a knotted ball of yarn illustrates the necessity of untangling these emotions one by one, emphasizing the importance of communal grieving in navigating this journey.
