When Buddhist practice creates different healing timelines for couples processing loss

My husband and I started studying Buddhism together after our miscarriage, but now he seems to have found genuine peace with impermanence while I'm still cycling between spiritual bypassing and raw grief, and I don't know how to tell him I need him to meet me where I am instead of where the teachings say I should be.
