Every generation experiences disruption. Wars, conflicts, recessions, inflation. Then there are the challenges presented by climate change and the losses as the result of fires, floods, intense heat, earthquakes, and the loss of habitat because of warming waters.
Dr. Joseph Coughlin points out that the difference between the past and now is the time between events is compressed. He describes how major disruptions today overlap rather than occur as isolated events.
Therefore, while people are living longer (and spending a longer period of time in retirement), “The next disruption is arriving before the last one has cleared. This is the stacking problem.”
In sociological, psychological, emotional terms, this means we haven’t resolved or even realized the depth of our grief before the next “disruption” hits.
