S1 E5 - The Many Types Of Grief

Grief is not just one experience, and it doesn't show up the same for everyone. In this episode of Sacred Arc, we explore the many different types of grief including uncomplicated grief, traumatic grief, inhibited grief, delayed grief, disenfranchised grief, cumulative grief, collective grief and prolonged grief disorder. Rather that treating these as labels or diagnosis, this conversation offers language for experiences that are often misunderstood, or even worse, minimized. We talk about how different types of grief can overlap and why many people don't recognize their grief until much later. If you have ever wondered why your grief doesn't look like someone else's or like what you were taught it "should" look like, this episode is for you. *This episode discusses different forms of grief and loss.
