When couples grieve pregnancy loss differently

My husband and I lost our baby at 20 weeks six months ago and we're grieving completely differently — he wants to try again soon, I'm not sure I can go through pregnancy again, and we've both stopped saying what we actually feel because we're so afraid of hurting each other. The silence is becoming its own kind of loss.

What we've seen
