Between Presence and Absence: A Conversation on Ambiguous Grief


Listen Later

Today we're revisiting ambiguous grief (aka grieving someone who is still alive). This can happen for so many reasons, ranging from addictions and dementia to divorce, incarceration, the foster system, and countless others. We're talking about what ambiguous grief is, why it is particularly challenging, and a few ideas for coping. 

Visit whatsyourgrief.com for hundreds of free articles we've written about all things grief and loss.

If you like the podcast, we think you'll love WYG Grief Support Hub. It's our online membership community that brings grievers together for learning, creativity, and support. You don’t have to navigate grief alone - participate in grief conversation sessions and groups, a discussion forum, grief support webinars, creativity projects, community writing sessions, and more. You can learn more here and join. 

If you're a grief professional, we have a community for you too. https://whatsyourgrief.com/grief-professionals-community/
