Some losses may lack visibility and clarity, remaining unseen or misread by others. When grief is buried, unrecognized, or unsupported, it can complicate mourning and the ability to move on. Processing these splintered or buried inner experiences can let workshop participants feel whole again and bring closure.
Some losses are clear: society recognizes them as significant and we have rituals to mourn them. We feel free to ask for support and, more often, support comes our way without our even having to ask. But the kinds of losses that are a part addiction and dysfunction all too often remain disenfranchised. Designed by world renowned psychodramatist and Meadows Senior Fellow Tian Dayton, MA, PhD, TEP, Mending Heartwounds serves to assist participants in furthering resolution surrounding loss.
These losses can lack visibility and clarity. They are hidden and often times remain unseen or misread by others. And there can be confusion as to exactly who or what has been lost, or whether there is a loss at all. However, not only do they hurt as much, the very fact that they remain buried, unrecognized, and unsupported can complicate mourning and block the grieving process. These kinds of losses deserve respect, they need our compassion and care. Grieving these types of losses can bring about change on the inside that leads to change on the outside. Mourning a loss of a connection to self, to someone significant, to a period of life, to addiction and/or dysfunction, can be freeing and restoring. Processing our splintered or buried inner experience can let us feel whole again and bring it to comfortable closure. It helps us to move on in life, let go of the past, and live in the present.
