The Singularly Sensitive®
Disenfranchised Grief Mini-Retreat
If you’re grieving a loss that you can’t seem to explain to other people, but you know it’s real to you…
If people expect you to be “over it”, when you’ve barely been able to acknowledge it to yourself or have other people recognize your loss…
If people (maybe even you) think you’re being too sensitive or making too much out of this loss…
If you need a way to honor your loss when a funeral isn’t the right ritual…
You Deserve a Place Where You Can Be Honest About Your Losses and Express Your Grief in Ways that Suit Who You Are
The Disenfranchised Grief Mini-Retreat is an intimate, virtual gathering space where sensitive, introverted, and/or neurodiverse women can name their losses and be witnessed by the Singularly Sensitive community.
This gathering is especially for women who are holding what’s known as disenfranchised grief: events and situations that aren’t recognized and held by our culture as losses, so there’s never a real mourning ritual or social support given to us.
Disenfranchised grief includes things like:
deaths of people you might no longer have a relationship with or who are public figures that you “knew” through their work
the end of a relationship that was never officially called one
health changes and the lifestyle shifts that accompany them
hidden losses and changes in status (health, finances, age, social standing)
a version of yourself you had to leave behind or that never got to become fully realized
the ambiguous, ongoing, or unrecognized losses that other people wish you'd stop talking about.
