Scenario

When couples grieve the death of a child differently

My partner and I lost our daughter three weeks ago and we're moving through the house like ghosts who can't see each other — I want to talk about her constantly and he goes silent whenever I bring her up. We used to be a team through everything but grief has made us strangers and I don't know how to reach him without making it worse.

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, creating isolation exactly when they most need connection.
