What are you grieving that you feel you shouldn’t or that others seem to dismiss as worthy of grief?
Disenfranchised grief can show up when you feel that…
· Your loss isn’t worth being able to grieve
· There is stigma around the relationship (such as grieving an ex)
· There is stigma in the cause of death (such as overdose, suicide, and many others)
· The way you are grieving is judged by others
Your grief matters. Please give yourself and others the grace and patience to grieve.
