Scenario

When couples grieve differently after shared losses

My partner and I both lost our dads within six months of each other and we keep trying to support each other but we grieve so differently that sometimes I feel more alone with him than I did before either of our fathers died. We used to know how to comfort each other and now we're both just flailing around trying to be helpful in ways that don't actually help.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people who love each other are discovering that their different grief languages can create distance precisely when they most need closeness.
