When couples compete over grief and the memory of someone they both loved

Ever since my best friend died in that accident six months ago, my husband and I have been having this weird unspoken competition about who loved her more, who's grieving 'correctly,' and who gets to carry her memory forward — and it's making me feel like I'm losing both of them.

What we've seen

Loss has created a scarcity mindset around love and remembrance, turning partnership into rivalry over who deserves to be the primary mourner.

Worth thinking about

“Where Are You with The gift of mortality — what loss teaches about being alive?”
