The Hidden Grief of Trauma Survivors: Disappointment, Longing, and Reckoning

There are some things we lose before we even know they’re missing.When we grow up with trauma, in chaos, or without the love and safety we needed, we don’t just carry memories of what happened, we also carry grief for what never happened. There’s a quiet kind of heartbreak that lives inside the wishes we made as children. The ones we likely never said out loud.In this video, I talk about the grief that comes not just from loss but from longing. From the ungranted wishes that still live inside our wounded parts. I explore how these unseen losses shape our beliefs about what we deserve, and how they influence the way we move through relationships, healing, and even joy.If any part of you has ever felt that quiet ache for something you never received, I see you. And I hope this video helps you feel less alone.
