MPAN creates therapeutic language tool for National Missing Persons Week via whiteGREY

The Missing Person Advocacy Network (MPAN) and creative firm whiteGREY have launched a world-first therapeutic language tool designed to help affected family and friends navigate the experience of ambiguous loss.

The organisation describes ambiguous loss “a unique and harrowing type of grief experienced by the loved ones of long-term missing persons – considered by many psychologists to be the most traumatic type of loss”. Differently to standard grief, it is a continual loss, complicate and delaying the grieving process, leading to unresolved grief.
