This post is going to be short, sweet, and straight to the point:)
I was so excited when I learned of Dr. Pauline Boss. She specializes in Ambiguous Loss and has written many books about it.
In her book, called "Ambiguous Loss: Learning to Live with Unresolved Grief" She talks about "frozen grief" and how we are meant to go through a mourning process. It is an excellent book and I am still in the process of reading it.
SO many people deal with ambiguous loss. My eyes were open to an entire world of people just like me. Whether it is a person gone missing in war, killed in action, missing in action, divorced parents, where one parent is no longer even able to know the whereabouts of the other parent whether they are alive or not, people gone missing, runaways, an orphan mourning the unknown of absent parents, etc.
So many people in the same situation need knowledge, good knowledge, on how to deal with the pain they are experiencing. I highly recommend this book for everyone. It has so many good points and can help you relate to more people than you will ever realize. If you know of anyone who is struggling with ambiguous loss recommend this book. IT IS AMAZING.

Thanks you so much for reading:) niki
Jesse Glen Pinegar went missing in May 2009. Last seen in Kauai, Hawaii, we are still picking up the pieces. When someone you love disappears, goes missing, or never seen again….what is that grief even called? Ambiguous Loss….and I’m still figuring it out.
