I miss him.
His smile,
his laugh.
Does he remember?
Does he see the same moon?
I miss his face,
his hair,
his joy.
Is he loved?
Is he free?
I miss him—
every moment.
I miss him.

Ambiguous loss leaves us grieving without closure, like missing someone who’s still alive or feeling the absence of what once was. It’s a complex, unseen grief that deserves space to be acknowledged and healed.

Is Election Grief Real?
There are many types of losses in society that go unrecognized and unacknowledged. One of these losses is election grief, which is an ambiguous loss.

I’m in my 40s and I somehow still haven’t learned that most people greeting me with a “how are you?” don’t in fact care how I am. They may even take issue when I respond, “Everything STILL sucks and I wish I were dead. But thanks for asking.” #ambiguousloss

Some grief is hard to name.
It’s not “legitimate” by society’s standards.
But you still feel it.
Still carry it.
This post is for the invisible griefs, the ones without casseroles or closure.

Not all grief is seen or acknowledged. This post honors the invisible, ambiguous, and deeply personal losses that deserve space and validation.

Grief and Loss at Christmas...
A reminder that children who are grieving continue to grieve over Christmas. Adults too. In our home, Christmas needs to be a quiet and restful time - respectful of the loss and grief that comes with and out of adoption. Pretty lights and gentle Christmas carols. Nice food. Family connection. Honouring needs and self care for children and adults alike.What does Christmas look like in your house?
