#4 Grieving the Living: Types of Loss We Don't Talk About
from Grief Comadres | Real grief. Real women. Real healing. · host Jackie Alvarado
In this episode, we explore the grief that lives in the in-between—anticipatory grief when you know loss is coming, living grief when someone is here but already gone, and disenfranchised grief that society tells us doesn't count. Through the story of a patient facing a terminal diagnosis and the song, we uncover how these hidden forms of grief shape caregivers and families. If you're loving someone through dementia, terminal illness, addiction, or estrangement, this episode is for you. You're not alone, Comadres. Join our private Facebook group "Grief Comadres"!
