The dynamics of a family can significantly change when a member departs or passes away. The absence of one person leads to a natural reshuffling of roles and responsibilities within the family unit. This shift may be intentional or unintentional, causing individuals to step into positions they desired or, conversely, into roles they never anticipated taking on.

These changes occur subtly, often going unnoticed, yet they continuously influence family interactions and relationships. As each member adapts to the new reality, the family must navigate through the emotional landscape that follows the loss or absence of a loved one, reshaping their identity and dynamics in the process.
