Scenario

When family members avoid grieving together after a loss

My dad and I have been taking care of everything since my mom died six months ago but we're both just going through the motions of normal life. We'll talk about practical things but we never talk about her or how we're actually doing, and the silence around her absence is getting heavier than the absence itself.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Sometimes the conspiracy of normalcy becomes more suffocating than the original sorrow.
