🎧 STIGMATIZED GRIEF – Mini Series: Understanding the Language of Grief, Loss and Trauma

Welcome to this episode of the How to Deal with Grief and Trauma podcast. This is part of our special summer mini series:
“Understanding the Language of Grief, Loss and Trauma.”

I’m your host, Nathalie Himmelrich — somatic practitioner, psychological therapist, educator, and author specializing in grief and trauma.

🌿 About This Mini Series

Grief and trauma are deeply human experiences, yet many of us struggle to describe what we're going through — or to understand what others are facing. The vocabulary of loss is vast, varied, and sometimes overwhelming.

In this special mini series, released daily throughout Juli/August, we explore different types of grief and trauma that people encounter throughout life.
Each 10–15 minute bite-sized episode offers:

  • A clear definition of a specific term
  • Why understanding it matters
  • Common misconceptions and questions
  • Related podcast episodes for deeper insight
  • Reflections from both lived and professional experience

Whether you're a bereaved parent, caregiver, therapist, or walking beside a grieving friend, this series offers you language, clarity, and compassion.

📌 In This Episode

Today, we explore the term: STIGMATIZED GRIEF
You’ll learn:

  • What it means
  • How it shows up in real life
  • Why understanding this term can support healing
  • How to respond or relate to someone navigating this experience
