When couples grieve differently and faith becomes a divide

My husband still goes to church every Sunday and says God has a plan, but I can't even say grace at dinner since we lost the baby, and we're both pretending this difference doesn't exist. We used to pray together and now we can barely talk about what happened without him retreating into faith-speak that feels like a wall between us.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are discovering that grief has changed their relationship to the sacred in incompatible ways, creating isolation within their most intimate bond.
