Scenario

When family members have incompatible grieving styles after sudden loss

My brother died in an accident six weeks ago and my parents and I are stuck in this awful pattern where they want to talk about him constantly and I can barely function when they do, so I've been avoiding them exactly when we all need each other most. We're all that's left of our family and I'm scared we're going to stay broken like this.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Different grief rhythms can create abandonment exactly when connection is most essential, threatening the remaining bonds that tragedy has made precious.
