it's all dhamma.: For Buddhists, how does the concept of "attachment" apply to the closest people in your life?
The more one loves and opens one’s heart, the more likely one is going to feel a significant loss when relationships, experiences, and other things of meaning come to an end. There is nothing wrong with grief and sadness.
Buddhists are not training to be unfeeling. We are learning how to be present with the experience as it is, whether that be heartache or something else all together. It is when we cling to our wish for things to be different from how they actually are that we experience the most intense suffering. Perhaps, rather than being unattached or detached or letting go, we are learning to let be.(on Quora)

“Learning to let be”, that’s pretty close to what I’m applying in my life.
