Scenario

When couples attend grief counseling but process loss differently

My husband and I joined a grief group after our daughter died and we've been going for six months but we process everything so differently in the room that I feel like we're grieving alone even when we're sitting right next to each other. He barely speaks and I can't stop talking and afterwards we drive home in silence because neither of us knows how to bridge what just happened.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people can share the deepest loss and still find themselves isolated by the very different ways they move through sacred ground.
