The Grief No One Talks About
A Group that Addresses the Grief Involved in Family Dysfunction and Estranged Family Relationships
A therapy group for adults navigating estranged or complex family relationships
You’re not grieving a person who died.
You’re grieving the version of them you needed.
Or the version of you that kept trying.
This group is for those holding invisible grief—the kind that doesn't show up in obituaries or family photos. Whether the estrangement is recent or decades old, voluntary or forced, spoken or silent—your pain is real.
We’ll hold space for it.

What We’ll Cover:
Naming and normalizing disenfranchised grief
Understanding the attachment wounds behind estrangement
Coping with guilt, ambivalence, and boundary grief
Exploring cultural and generational narratives around family
Reimagining identity, safety, and “chosen family”
Who This Is For:
This group is for Atlanta-based adults who are grieving family relationships that are estranged, severed, or emotionally unavailable.
You don’t need a diagnosis—just a desire to process the pain, anger, relief, guilt, and confusion that can come with letting go of a bond that never felt secure.
Group Format:
Location: In person, Atlanta (exact location provided upon registration)
Format: Drop-in friendly; schedule what works for you
Group Size: Limited to 3-6 participants
Cost: $125 per session
Led by: Miranda Campbell, LCSW – trauma therapist, author, and attachment expert
*Reduced-rate spots are available on a limited basis for those facing financial hardship. If you’d like to be considered, feel free to inquire during registration. These spots are offered with care and are typically time-limited to support access and sustainability.
Why This Format?
Flexibility for Real Life: Commit when you’re able—home emergencies, grief flare-ups, or pregnancy fatigue won't stop you
Deepening Over Time: Consistent attendance helps build emotional trust, even if attendance varies
Safety + Support: Intimate group (3–6) ensures meaningful connections in every circle
You’re Allowed to Grieve What Never Was
Estrangement doesn’t make your grief less real.
You don’t need a funeral to feel the loss.
This group is your space to unpack the pain, the peace, the guilt, and the gray area.
Let’s hold it together, so you don’t have to hold it alone.
-
This is a closed, therapist-facilitated therapy group. While peer support is part of the experience, the group includes structured exploration, trauma-informed facilitation, and attachment-based guidance.
-
We explore themes like:
Grieving someone who hurt you
Healing from emotionally unavailable or abusive caregivers
Holding love and resentment at the same time
Identity, boundaries, and belonging after family loss
-
Yes. While many participants are also in individual therapy, it’s not required. This group can be a powerful entry point into your healing work.
-
Yes. Many group members are already in therapy. This group can complement your individual work by offering connection, perspective, and a space to explore your grief relationally. With your consent, I’m also happy to coordinate with your therapist if it supports your care.
-
You’ll never be pressured to share more than you’re comfortable with. There’s no “performing” in this space. Some weeks you may feel like listening more than speaking—and that’s valid. The group meets you where you are.
-
No. While spiritual themes may organically emerge for some participants, the group is not faith-based. All belief systems and lived experiences are respected.
-
Grief doesn’t always look like tears or loss. Sometimes it looks like anger, guilt, numbness, or wondering why you’re still affected by people you’ve cut off. If family dynamics have left an imprint, this group may be a supportive space to unpack that impact—whatever it looks like for you.
-
That’s okay. You can join the interest list and reach out with any questions. I’m happy to schedule a short call to help you discern whether this space is right for you.
