Scenario

When couples grieve shared dreams that didn't work out

My partner and I both made huge career sacrifices when our startup failed three years ago and we took safe corporate jobs to survive, but we've never actually talked about how much we both miss the version of ourselves that believed we could change the world together.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are mourning not just what they lost, but who they used to be together when anything felt possible.
