ALL AT SEA: EXPERIENCING AMBIGUOUS LOSS
Mini-Report with Key Findings and Statistics
Ambiguous loss is a type of living loss that most people will experience during their lifetime, however very little is understood about the effects of the grief endured. This includes emotional, physical and behavioural responses and other impacts on the ability to live well despite the loss. There is a substantial gap in comprehending the scale of non-death losses and a lack of acknowledgement of the effect on individuals in our wider society. Our mini-report, “All At Sea: Experiencing Ambiguous Loss”, aims to highlight these issues and develop a further understanding. The Ambiguous Loss Survey conducted by Ambiguous Loss UK, was launched on 2nd December 2023, during National Grief Awareness Week in the UK. During the six months it was collecting anonymous data, 183 individuals who were experiencing or had experienced ambiguous loss within the last three years completed the online form. |
Many thanks to all the participants who so kindly completed our survey and shared their personal experiences of ambiguous loss.

“It’s like navigating through fog without a clear path. There’s feelings of hope and then grief and anxiety all while trying to cope with the unknown. It’s turned my world upside down.” ~ Survey participant
