When couples carry separate guilt after losing a child to suicide

My husband and I both blame ourselves for not seeing the signs before our teenage son took his own life, and we've started protecting each other from our guilt in ways that are making us feel completely alone in our own home.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are drowning in parallel shame while trying to shield each other from pain that needs to be shared.
