Scenario

When siblings remember the same parent in completely different ways

My sister and I are planning our mother's memorial service and we remember her completely differently — I remember her warmth and she remembers her criticism — and we can't agree on how to honor someone we apparently knew as different people. We're both grieving but we're also grieving alone because our grief doesn't match.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are mourning different versions of the same beloved person and cannot find each other in their grief.
