My partner and I both lost our fathers within six months of each other and we keep trying to support each other but we're grieving so differently that we end up feeling more alone together than apart. We've stopped talking about it because every conversation feels like we're failing each other.
More people experience this than they realize.
Two people drowning separately in the same ocean of loss, unable to find each other across the different languages of their grief.
