Loss is something everyone experiences, but not all losses are straightforward. At times, the pain of losing someone is made even more difficult by uncertainty — you may not know if they are truly gone, or if they will ever come back. This kind of loss is referred to as ambiguous loss, a concept that has been extensively researched by Dr. Pauline Boss, on which a large part of the upcoming content is based.
