When couples grieve infertility and pregnancy loss differently

My husband and I went through infertility treatments for three years and finally stopped last month, but we're grieving completely differently and I feel like we're losing each other along with the dream of having kids. He wants to move forward and focus on other things, while I'm still processing what we've lost, and we can't seem to meet each other where we are.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The end of trying has begun a different kind of loss—of the shared hope that sustained them and now the connection that might have carried them through.
