Scenario

When parents disagree on how to support a grieving teenager

My daughter's been through six months of therapy since her best friend died in the car accident, and my husband thinks she's 'making progress' but I see how she's just performing being okay for all of us. We keep having these careful conversations around her grief like we're walking on glass, and I don't know if we're protecting her or failing her.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people who love the same child are navigating grief support in ways that feel increasingly disconnected from each other and perhaps from what their child actually needs.
