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? Upgrade to Momentum Premium to unlock the full 20-minute masterclass! We dive deep into Doka's complete 5-part framework of hidden loss, unpack the multi-billion dollar cost of ignored workplace grief, and reveal the exact model for finally legitimizing your own pain.

Death escapes words, precisely because it signals the end of speech. The speech of the person leaving, but also of those who are left behind. In #bereavement, words lose meaning. They only serve to emphasise nothing makes sense anymore. -Delphine Horvilleur, Living with Our Dead

Fesshole confession, anonymous post on Bsky saying "Depressing fess. Friend died very suddenly a couple of months ago. I keep looking at her messages on WhatsApp and looking to see when she was last online. Her husband must be looking at her phone everyday, because she's always online. I don't know how to stop looking. "

I suspect I will think about this fess a lot.

Not only did I do same, but the idea that both parties are doing it, thinking of their loved one or friend...and not talking directly..it's very poignant. (but NOT via that WA, please...that might be too hard for the […]
