Dr. Boss emphasizes that ambiguous loss, especially in unimaginable situations like the Los Angeles fires, can cause grief to freeze, leaving individuals struggling to define their pain.
The chronic re-traumatization experienced by those affected is a significant barrier to recovery, as people oscillate between denial and the emotional heaviness of the loss.
Dr. Boss' coping strategies encourage individuals and families to acknowledge their uncertainties while also committing to live day to day, connecting with their support systems.
The guidelines for coping in ambiguous contexts suggest utilizing connections with others and exploring the emotional landscape to navigate recovery in the face of overwhelming loss.
