Not all grief is obvious. Some losses are quiet, seemingly small, or even invisible. Sometimes they go unrecognized by the world around us. Socially, we might call this micro-grief. In therapy, we’d call this disenfranchised grief.
Losing a version of yourself, a relationship, a dream, or a life you imagined still counts, even if no one else sees it. 🫶 When unacknowledged or minimized, these losses can contribute to prolonged distress, emotional dysregulation, and impact our sense of identity and well-being.
Many of us are carrying grief in a way that we didn’t even realize we were holding. 🕊️ Giving space to notice and process these overlooked losses is such an important step towards emotional well-being. Our therapy team is here to support anyone navigating these quiet losses. 🌿
