A Caregiver Conversation by Carallel: Understanding Ambiguous Loss

What’s ambiguous loss — and why does it hurt in a way that can feel so confusing? How do you cope when what you’re grieving isn’t clear-cut? These are the questions we’ll explore together in this Caregiver Conversation by Carallel. If you’re mourning a changing relationship or the life you expected because of a condition like dementia, or feeling the loss of safety and certainty after a crisis, you’re not alone.

Join us as we unpack what ambiguous loss is, why it’s uniquely painful, and offer some practical ways to understand it and live with it more gently.
