When one partner's gender transition brings up complex emotions for both people

My partner came out as non-binary six months ago and while I'm completely supportive, I'm also grieving the relationship I thought we had and I don't know how to share that grief without making their journey about my loss. We're both trying so hard to be okay that we're not being real about what this transition means for both of us.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Supporting someone's truth while grieving your own assumptions requires a tenderness that can hold both realities.
