Between Presence and Absence: A Conversation on Ambiguous Grief
Episode description
Today we're revisiting ambiguous grief (aka grieving someone who is still alive). This can happen for so many reasons, ranging from addictions and dementia to divorce, incarceration, the foster system, and countless others. We're talking about what ambiguous grief is, why it is particularly challenging, and a few ideas for coping.
