Grief You Feel You Can’t Share
A place for losses that feel private, misunderstood, or difficult to speak about.
You may be grieving a relationship others do not recognize, the person you thought you knew, or a family life changed by someone else’s actions. Some people call grief that is not acknowledged by others disenfranchised grief. You do not need a label to seek support.
When someone you love has caused harm
You can acknowledge the harm someone caused and still need support for what you have lost. Seeking that support does not excuse their actions. You do not have to maintain contact, reconcile, or forgive to use these resources.
