You Can GRIEVE Someone Still ALIVE (The Invisible Loss That Hurts)

It is possible to grieve for someone who is still alive. Do you feel a deep, confusing sadness for a parent or partner who is physically present but emotionally out of reach? This is a valid and painful experience known as "ambiguous loss." In this video, we validate this invisible grief and guide you through the process of mourning the relationship you deserved but never received.

We explore the psychology behind ambiguous loss, a term coined by Dr. Pauline Boss, and break down the difference between physical presence with psychological absence and vice versa. You will learn why society often invalidates this type of grief and how anger often serves as a "secondary emotion" to mask deep sorrow. This video provides a roadmap for letting go of the fantasy that the past will change, allowing you to accept reality without bitterness. We also share practical, safe healing strategies, such as writing an "unsent letter" and creating private closure rituals, helping you move from a state of waiting to becoming your own safe harbor.
