Scenario

When couples grieve differently and need different kinds of support

My husband and I lost our son two years ago and we've noticed that we each get triggered by completely different things people say to us about grief. What feels supportive to him makes me angry and what I find comforting makes him shut down, and we don't know how to help our friends and family navigate this.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Grief is profoundly individual even within the most intimate bonds, creating new territories of misunderstanding where there was once shared language.
