Contemporary research recognizes the existence of an ongoing attachment between the mourner and the deceased. This research tends to focus on the subjective aspects of the attachment--the mourner's memory and emotions. A complementary perspective is offered by archetypal psychology, which considers the deceased to exist outside the mourner's subjectivity as an autonomous image. This approach is illustrated by an exemplary case: a woman named Verda who experienced the death of her twin sister,Vera.Their account suggests that Verda's mourning derives from her encounters with Vera's continuing imaginal presence.
当代研究承认哀悼者与逝者之间存在一种持续的情感联结。这项研究倾向于关注这种情感联结的主观方面——哀悼者的记忆和情感。原型心理学提供了一种互补的视角，它认为逝者作为一个自主的形象存在于哀悼者的主观性之外。一个典型案例说明了这种方法：一位名叫韦尔达的女性，她经历了双胞胎姐姐薇拉的死亡。她们的描述表明，韦尔达的哀悼源于她与薇拉持续的意象存在的相遇。
