Scenario

When couples grieve the loss of a pet differently

My partner and I had to put our dog down three weeks ago and we're grieving completely differently — I want to talk about memories and look at photos, but they've put everything away and get quiet when I bring her up. We're both hurting but we can't seem to comfort each other through this.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people who love each other are discovering that their grief languages are incompatible, leaving each feeling alone in their sorrow.
