“People need to feel connected,”says Joy Browne,a doctor in the U.S. “And they will do it in the easiest ways.”When family members aren't connected,what could be easier than forming(形成) a connection to famous people?
This isn't something unusual,of course. People cried when Mei Yanfang died in 2003. It's natural and in most ways harmless to feel that way. But that's unhealthy,because these relationships(关系) aren't two-way.
For that,we need to stay connected to our own families. Parents can help by telling their children stories about their grandparents,aunts and cousins,and by telling them the children's latest activities and interests.
We can use technology to keep connected with each other. It's easy to send e-mails to granddad Better yet,take a vacation with members of your relatives--not with any other person. A week or so of relaxing vacation can be a great way to tie up family ties. And when a bad thing happens,no one can be as helpful as your relatives. Because no matter how much we cry for the famous people,they can't be there to cry for us.
