“It came as such a shock. I just can’t believe he’s gone(走了，去世了).”
“这太令人震惊了。我简直不敢相信他走了。”
Psychologists are accustomed to seeing bereaved(失去亲人的) individuals. But working with Jodie* presented a unique challenge – she’d never met the person she was grieving. Jodie was reeling(感到震惊、不知所措) after the recent death of a well known singer. Despite not knowing the singer personally, Jodie’s grief and loss seemed as palpable(明显的，可感知的) as other patients speaking about the deaths of family members or loved ones. Jodie reported that weeks after the singer’s death, she was struggling to attend work and was sleeping poorly, describing herself as consumed with thoughts of the singer.
心理学家习惯于接待失去亲人的人。但与朱迪*的合作却带来了独特的挑战——她从未见过自己哀悼的那个人。朱迪在一位知名歌手最近去世后痛苦不堪。尽管她并不认识这位歌手，但她的悲伤和失落感与其他谈论家人或亲人去世的患者一样真切。朱迪说，歌手去世几周后，她难以正常工作，睡眠很差，形容自己满脑子都是这位歌手。
Jodie was experiencing grief related to a parasocial(准社会的，单向的) relationship. This is a social phenomenon in which a person experiences a one-sided(单方面的，单向的) psychological connection with a public figure or famous person. While an intimate and intense sense of friendship or connection is felt, the object of attention is oblivious to their admirer’s existence.(尽管当事人感受到亲密而强烈的友谊或联结感，但被关注的对象却对仰慕者的存在浑然不觉。)
朱迪正在经历与准社会关系相关的悲伤。这是一种社会现象，指一个人与公众人物或名人产生单向的心理联系。尽管当事人感受到亲密而强烈的友谊或联结感，但被关注的对象却对仰慕者的存在浑然不觉。
