Dire adieu | Izzie Jiang | TEDxGUIS Guangzhou Youth

Lors de cette intervention TEDxGUIS Guangzhou Youth, Izzie Jiang, étudiante au Shenzhen College of International Education, s'interroge sur les raisons pour lesquelles dire adieu peut être l'une des expériences les plus difficiles. Elle s'appuie sur la notion psychologique d'aversion à la perte et sur la perte de son grand-père. À partir de réflexions sur les soins palliatifs, elle propose de considérer l'adieu comme un moyen d'honorer l'amour et les souvenirs partagés.

• Pourquoi l'aversion à la perte rend l'adieu difficile
• Le deuil d'un grand-père, vécu personnellement
• L'adieu comme hommage aux souvenirs partagés

In this deeply moving talk, Izzie Jiang explores why saying goodbye can be one of the most difficult experiences in life. Drawing on the psychological concept of loss aversion and her personal experience of losing her grandfather, she examines how our fear of losing what we love can make it difficult to accept change and let go. Through reflections on hospice care, Izzie invites us to reconsider the meaning of goodbye—not simply as an acknowledgement of loss, but as an opportunity to honour the love, happiness, and memories that made our relationships meaningful. Her message reminds us that saying goodbye does not erase what we have shared; instead, it allows us to carry those memories and moments of love forward.
