My brother and I are both grieving our mom who died six months ago, but our grief comes in completely different waves — I'll have a good week and want to talk about memories while he's in a dark place, then when he's ready to connect I'm the one who can barely get out of bed. We keep missing each other and it's making the loss feel even more isolating.
More people experience this than they realize.
Two people loving through the same loss are discovering that grief's non-linear nature can create distance precisely when connection is most needed.
“Where Are You with Grief waves — the non-linear experience?”
