Scenario

When couples grieve differently and feel disconnected

My husband and I both lost our fathers this year and we're grieving completely differently — he wants to talk through memories and meaning, I just want to be quiet and let it be — and we're starting to feel like strangers in our own house.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people sharing the same loss discover their ways of making meaning are incompatible, creating distance when they most need connection.
