The Grief No One Talks About

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.

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.
