Question by Takeah: What does this mean (from the book Twenty Things Adopted Kids Wish Their Adoptive Parents Knew)?
…by Sherrie Eldridge… “revisit emotionally the place of loss”? What does REVISIT mean? What does PLACE OF LOSS mean?

***WHEN DEALING WITH YOUNG CHILDREN***

Full excerpt:

“Grief is the natural response to loss, and those touched by adoption must be given permission to revisit emotionally the place of loss, feel the pain, scream the anger, cry the tears, and then allow themselves to be loved by others. If left unresolved, this grief can and often does sabotage the strongest of families and the deepest potential within the adopted child. It can undermine the most sincere parental commitment and force adoptees to suffer in private, choosing either rebellion or conformity as a mode of relating.”
