When couples become afraid of normal conflict after experiencing loss

My partner and I lost his brother in an accident last year and ever since then we hold onto each other so tightly that we've stopped being individuals - we're afraid to fight, afraid to be apart, afraid to want different things because we've learned how quickly love can be taken away.

What we've seen

The fear of losing love can strangle the very independence that makes love possible.

Worth thinking about

“Where Are You with What we learn from grief about love?”
