Scenario

When couples struggling with infertility stop sharing their grief

My partner and I have been trying to conceive for two years and we've started moving through our days like careful strangers, both of us afraid to want too much out loud or grieve too much out loud. Every month feels like a small death but we've gotten too good at protecting each other from our own disappointment.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Love is trying to spare the beloved from witnessing our own breaking, but this protection is creating the very isolation both people fear most.
