I should be happy with what I've got.\"\u003c\/em\u003e Our inner judge often tells us grief is \"allowed\" for big losses, but that we should tough out everyday heartbreak. The loss of a loved one and a devastating divorce are likely to be accepted as grief events. But what about moments when we feel overlooked, disregarded, or misunderstood? This could look like rejection in the workplace, lack of intimacy in a relationship, being overlooked by friends, or working in a position that's not a dream job. \"These are losses society doesn't recognize, mirror back to us, or validate,\" says acclaimed grief educator Christina Rasmussen. \"As a result, we don't recognize or validate them either.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis unacknowledged type of grief—invisible losses that are often labeled as not worthy of recognition—can be hard to define and may surface as feelings of anxiety, depression, angst, or restlessness. These are the moments when we shift perception of ourselves and can end up living in continuous survival mode, without really recognizing or understanding why.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eInvisible Loss\u003c\/em\u003e, Rasmussen shines a light on this unrecognized form of grief. Because we avoid invisible loss, we don't process it; instead, we seek the protection of an endless \"waiting room\" in the hope that time will heal our wounds.
