The idea is that if you want to develop a stronger connection with life then you must get in touch with any suppressed grief that is present. The same applies to relationships. If you are feeling any disconnection with any person or with all people then somewhere within you is unresolved grief and sadness. Only by being honest and finding what is hidden inside will you be able to regain the connection to life that you once had. Releasing grief is one of the most effective ways to re-establish broken relationships.
