Most professionals do not see it.<\/p>\n<p>Ambiguous loss is grief without a deceased person \u2014 the loss of how things should have been, whilst life simply carries on. The child with a severe disability. The parent who is still there, but is no longer the same. The family falling apart. No funeral, no condolence cards, no acknowledgement.<\/p>\n<p>And yet it is a profound loss. A loss that accumulates, that builds up, that slowly destabilises families \u2014 until the tension erupts somewhere.<\/p>\n<p>Ambiguous loss is not a cause of domestic violence. But it is a risk context that is often underestimated.<br \/>\nIf you look only at signs of violence, you\u2019re only seeing half the picture. The other half is what this family has been carrying for months or years \u2014 without anyone noticing.
