generations of loss

Generations of loss refer to the cumulative effect of losing knowledge, traditions, or cultural practices over time. Each generation builds on what was learned from the previous one; however, as people move, modernize, or change lifestyles, some information can be forgotten or abandoned. This can lead to gaps in understanding and a disconnection from heritage. For example, if a family stops passing down stories or skills, future generations may lose valuable insights about their identity, history, and values, which can diminish their sense of belonging and cultural richness.
