My partner and I have been trying to conceive for two years and every month we fail differently - sometimes I'm the one falling apart, sometimes it's him, never at the same time when we could actually comfort each other.

More people experience this than they realize.
Shared loss is being experienced in isolation because grief refuses to synchronize, leaving both people alone in their pain.
