El misterio del duelo, aprenda cómo estar presente

This story describes the pain of a mother who gave up a foster daughter, Coco. A year later, she adopted a baby boy, and described this grief to the social worker, noticing that having language to describe the specific loss – “duelo por falta de derechos,” – ‘grief because you have no rights (to keep the child)’ – helped the family move on. 10 minute read, upper intermediate level.
