When parents have different timelines for grieving infant loss

My husband returned to normal routines within weeks of our newborn's death while I'm still shattered six months later, and we're both starting to resent each other - him for my inability to 'move forward' and me for what feels like his casual recovery from the most devastating thing that's ever happened to us.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Time moves differently through the landscape of loss, and two people who started the journey together can find themselves in entirely different seasons of sorrow.

Worth thinking about

“Where Are You with The death of a child — the unnatural loss?”
