When we use the term ‘grief’ we tend to think of grief as an experience after the death of someone we are attached to. Whilst this is entirely relevant, the term ‘grief’ is in fact much wider than this and is recognised by professionals as an experience which can be felt across a wide range of losses. Experiences prompting non-death related grief could include: the ending of a foster relationship; redundancy, imprisonment, gender reassignment, relationship breakdown, physical changes such as dementia and stroke – in fact it can relate to any situation where there is an ending of something which is important to us.

But how does it feel when these losses are not recognised, acknowledged, or understood by others in the same way?
