Terry Tempest Williams, in her work "Refuge: An Unnatural History of Family and Place," explores the profound connections we have with others, particularly familial ties. She suggests that our attachments can sometimes lead to suffering, indicating that the bond between a mother and child is so strong that it resembles an uncut umbilical cord. This highlights how emotional connections can persist, intensifying our experiences of pain and loss.
