When friends must grieve the same person they loved in different ways

My best friend and I were both in love with Sarah, though only I was dating her when she died in the accident, and now we're trying to support each other through grief while navigating the strange territory of mourning someone we loved in different but equally real ways.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Overlapping romantic and platonic love creates a unique form of shared loss that has no social script but demands mutual witness.
