Trauma

It has been called conservatism, has likely been diagnosed as a psychological condition, and is coarsely known as the inability to deal with change. Books have been written about it: one called 'who moved my cheese?' and a sequel called 'who moved my iceberg?', which tells of a colony of penguins forced to deal with significant alterations to their habitat and way of life. When an old house gets torn down to make room for a new one, when a car gets totaled an accident, when a pet dies, when a possession is sold--these are major incidents in the life of the person who cherished those objects.
It can be described in terms of trauma. TBC
