Why Society Ignores Your Grief (Kenneth J. Doka)

What is the worst kind of loss a human being can experience? Society has a strict checklist for who gets to grieve, and what happens when your pain isn’t on the VIP list is devastating. Today, we introduce Dr. Kenneth J. Doka's groundbreaking concept of 'disenfranchised grief'—the hidden sorrow of a loss that society refuses to openly acknowledge or support. From the death of an ex-spouse to losing a career, learn why you might be carrying invisible baggage and why society unfairly expects you to just 'get over it.'Enjoyed this?
