When we talk about Grief, we often refer to the loss of a loved one. But this is not the only type of loss that causes emotional pain. Sometimes, our losses are invisible — like when someone criticizes our dream and we stop pursuing it.

Christina Rasmussen is a grief educator and the best-selling author of several books, including Second Firsts. Her new book is Invisible Loss. Some of the things she talks about are how to identify our invisible losses, how to heal old wounds, and how to step out of the “waiting room” so you can start fully living.
