In this episode, we explore the often-overlooked dimensions of grief connected to chronic health issues, offering insights and tools for counsellors and therapists. Unlike grief following death, chronic illness grief is ongoing, layered, and frequently invisible, encompassing losses of identity, autonomy, relationships, and future goals and plans. We discuss the emotional and relational complexities clients may face, from navigating ambiguous and disenfranchised losses to managing shifting roles within families and communities.
