The rule

A new loss can feel very strong.

This happens because it reminds a person of all past losses. The new loss brings back feelings from old griefs.

A new loss is not just one sad event. It can make a person remember all their past sadness. This new grief adds to all the old griefs. It makes the feeling of loss much stronger. This is like an echo, where one sound makes other sounds louder.

A student loses a pet. This loss feels very heavy. The student also remembers losing a grandparent many years ago. The new sadness brings back the old sadness. The student feels both losses at the same time.
