Ambiguous loss is an unclear loss without closure. The lack of clarity is based on something or someone being both here and not here at the same time, such as a missing person or someone who has dementia. Others may not recognize the loss, and people may not be able to move forward in solving the original need or problem.
In the changing farm and rural landscape, loss of land, livestock, changing markets, and even relationships can be ambiguous losses that lead many to feel “stuck.”
Farmer Angel Network with the Wisconsin Farm Center offered this virtual train-the-trainer session to learn strategies for moving forward after an ambiguous loss. Emily Krekelberg, Extension Educator, University of Minnesota Extension, taught eight participants how to teach and apply the concepts utilizing a workbook developed by University of Minnesota Extension.
