SUMMARY:Holding The Change: Grief and Ambiguous Loss After a Brain Injury
DESCRIPTION:Holding The Change: Grief and Ambiguous Loss After Brain Injury Series\nGrief after brain injury is often complex, ongoing, and difficult to name. There may be no clear ending, no shared language, and no simple path forward. This three-part series explores the concept of ambiguous loss and how it shows up in the lives of people with traumatic or acquired brain injury.\nTogether, we will look at what it means to grieve changes in identity, ability, and relationships, and how to make sense of a reality that may feel unfamiliar or unresolved.\nSession 1 (30 minutes): Naming the Loss\nThis session introduces the concept of ambiguous loss grief that occurs without clear closure or resolution.\nWe will explore:\n\nWhat ambiguous loss is (loss without clear ending or certainty)\nDifferent types of loss experienced after a brain injury\nWhy this kind of grief often feels confusing, ongoing, or “stuck”\nNormalizing mixed and shifting emotions, including grief, relief, anger, and numbness\n\nReflection & Discussion (30 minutes):\nWe will reflect and share around the question:\n“What is the hardest part of your experience to explain to others?”\n
