Squid washed up alive on a beach, from ocean depths most of us will never see. Like a reminder of ambiguous loss: grief hidden beneath the surface. We returned it to the sea giving another chance. Our support is simply that: not fixing what happened, just helping life keep going

This is when unprocessed loss (of any kind) builds over time, becoming heavier and harder to manage - like a pebble rolling down a sand dune, picking up speed. With ambiguous loss it can be common as grief is often complicated and traumatic.

The ambiguity isn’t in the grief; it’s in the loss. Grief doesn’t disappear, it always remains part of you. Over time, though, your life expands around it, so while the grief stays, it no longer fills every space. What are your thoughts about #ambiguousgrief?

Ambiguous loss feels like standing steady, then being knocked sideways by a wave you never saw coming. One moment you’re coping, the next you’re flooded with grief. Do you relate? International support is available.

Holidays can be tough with ambiguous loss. You may be missing someone who’s alive but absent, hoping an estranged relationship might change, or mourning the family you never had/don't have. We share ways to cope here ▶ https://t.co/NKYannQNqO

All can can create ambiguous loss - situations where someone is absent in some way, such as psychologically or physically. Often there is uncertainty, being in limbo, and no clear ending. Living loss and grief are complex, and our specialist area.

[Ambiguous Loss UK @ambiguouslossuk]

Ambiguous loss is an uncharted sea. The storm never fully passes, yet neither does the sun. You drift between what is lost and what still remains, caught in the tide of not knowing.

[Ambiguous Loss UK @ambiguouslossuk]

Who or what is your 'rock'? It could be a person, animal, thing or place - something that helps keep you steady and grounded as you live with your ambiguous loss.

For our founder Chloë, it's always the sea no matter the weather! 🤍
