@reverentridge.org1/2 Today is Pregnancy & Infant Loss Remembrance Day. 🕯️ And at 7:00 PM local time, the Wave of Light honors these losses that are too often carried in silence as disenfranchised grief.
Your grief is real, your loss matters, and you are not alone. 🤍 🧵
@lisanezneski.bsky.socialEvery August 12th at 7:30pm I say four sentences for my ex-husband. 7:30 is the minute we married. He doesn’t know. Eight years now. It didn’t change how I feel about him — it changed that the date stopped ambushing me. #disenfranchisedgrief is real; #forgiveness is maintenance. Which date is yours?
@reverentridge.orgNot all grief gets a card, flowers, or a funeral. Disenfranchised grief happens when society doesn't recognize or validate your loss, leaving you to mourn in silence. Your pain is real, even when the world doesn't name it. 🧵 1/3

Tomorrow, we'll dive deeper into what this looks like. 🕯️
