When couples face infertility with different coping styles

My partner and I have been trying to conceive for two years and the monthly cycle of hope and disappointment is wearing us down in different ways — they want to keep trying naturally while I'm ready to explore other options, and we're both afraid of saying the wrong thing. We're grieving something that hasn't happened yet and don't know how to hold that together.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are learning that shared longing can create unexpected distance when grief moves through each heart at its own pace.
