Recent seminar in Yerevan on #ambiguousloss highlighted the psychosocial dimensions of the limbo families face when loved ones are missing - and how collective acknowledgement & compassion are key not only for families' healing but also for broader societal healing.

The ambiguity isn’t in the grief; it’s in the loss. Grief doesn’t disappear, it always remains part of you. Over time, though, your life expands around it, so while the grief stays, it no longer fills every space. What are your thoughts about ambiguous grief?

After a busy Ambiguous Loss Awareness Day in July, we’ve had a social media pause. Lovely to see Chloë Swinton and her MARCH Model mentioned in a recap of the training she did for Counselling Tutor in 2021. Helpful video for anyone living with #ambiguousloss: bit.ly/CTAmbiguousL...
Ambiguous loss is when a loved one disappears without knowing whether they are alive or dead.
Endless grief, pain that never heals. Thinking of those experiencing this silence. 💔

I miss him.
His smile,
his laugh.
Does he remember?
Does he see the same moon?
I miss his face,
his hair,
his joy.
Is he loved?
Is he free?
I miss him—
every moment.
I miss him.

Some grief is hard to name.
It’s not “legitimate” by society’s standards.
But you still feel it.
Still carry it.
This post is for the invisible griefs, the ones without casseroles or closure.

I wanted to post about giving your insane mom some grace. I ended up thinking about the generations my fierce grandmothers who committed suicide rather than be under the thumb of fascist men. I’m sad to see a new generation of this shit. #mothersday #ambiguousloss #generationaltrauma
Loss doesn’t always come with closure. How can one reconcile impactful losses that aren’t always visible or honored by the culture? buff.ly/GsQv9Nj #MentalHealth #AmbiguousLoss #LGBTQSupport
Leaving home isn’t just a new beginning — it’s often an invisible loss. Pauline Boss reminds us that grief after immigration is real and valid. 🛤️ Healing happens when we name what hurts. buff.ly/JfctNSY

A young woman from Delaware who does a podcast called "First State Unsolved" contacted me last year and asked if she could do an episode on my son Ben. Benjamin disappeared on March 2, 2016. She released the podcast today:

I’m in my 40s and I somehow still haven’t learned that most people greeting me with a “how are you?” don’t in fact care how I am. They may even take issue when I respond, “Everything STILL sucks and I wish I were dead. But thanks for asking.” #ambiguousloss
Ambiguous loss leaves us grieving without closure, like missing someone who’s still alive or feeling the absence of what once was. It’s a complex, unseen grief that deserves space to be acknowledged and healed.
