Scenario

When couples who bonded through shared trauma face healing and growth

My partner and I met in our grief support group and now we're building a life together, but sometimes I think we're more comfortable with each other's brokenness than with each other's healing, and I don't know if what we have can survive us actually getting better. We're both changing and we don't know if we're changing in the same direction.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Partners who found each other in darkness must discover whether their love can flourish in the light of recovery.
