104. The Silent Sorrow: Navigating Disenfranchised Loss & Grief

Drop me a message or voice note!We’re diving into the concept of disenfranchised grief—the “silent sorrow”, as I sometimes call it. This is grief that’s often not openly acknowledged, socially validated or publicly mourned, which makes it especially challenging to navigate.In this conversation we’re chatting about various examples of disenfranchised grief that are long overdue for some validation—think: the loss of an ex-partner or estranged family member, unrecognized or invalidated relationships, losses that are considered “less significant” than a death, stigmatized losses, losses of a job or sense of identity, major life transitions, and more.This is truly such an underrated yet incredibly important type of grief to acknowledge, so I’m also offering some insight into how to cope and navigate this. And, as always, giving you some practical coping strategies along the way.My mission with this topic is to validate your experience and loss, and provide you tools, support, and mindset shifts to help you navigate this complex form of grief. Learn more about Letters of Light 💌✨ https://lossesbecomegains.com/lettersSupport the showNEW!
