When siblings grieve a parent's suicide differently

My sister and I have been handling our mom's affairs for six months since she died by suicide, but we process everything so differently that we keep hurting each other without meaning to — she needs to talk through every detail and I need space to grieve quietly.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
