Episode #35: Ambiguous/Living Losses
Show Notes

"No one has died but I still feel as though I've lost something. Do I still get to grieve?" YES!!! You can experience grief around non-death (or ambiguous/living) losses. Experiences that may fall into this category could be going through a divorce or a sudden tragic experience not involving death such as a house fire. Even experiences that appear positive and exciting on the surface (such as becoming a parent or retirement) would also bring elements of loss. 

Join me this week as I continue on with my March series and go further into depth on ambiguous/living losses. In this episode you will:

  • Learn more about what ambiguous/living losses are
  • Understand the importance of grieving them and the possible dangers if we don't, and
  • Engage in an exercise allowing you to start identifying any possible losses you may want to make space to grieve

I'd also love for you to connect with me on Instagram @exposing_grief so I can thank you personally for playing a big part in removing the stigma of grief and creating a world where it is accepted and welcomed.
