Acknowledging
What is Acknowledging?
Letting the loss be real. Not moving on — moving forward, with the loss as part of you.
When you might feel acknowledging
Acknowledging is a specific form of accepting, which itself is a type of integration. You might experience this feeling in situations where integration is present, particularly when the circumstances align with the nuances that define acknowledging.
