How parents and teens navigate contrasting physical grief responses

My teenage daughter and I are both grieving her father, but while I feel like I'm moving through thick water and can barely function, she's having these intense physical outbursts - throwing things, punching walls - and I don't know if I should be worried about her body or grateful that at least one of us can still feel anything. We're both drowning but in completely different ways.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Generational differences in somatic grief expression create mutual misunderstanding when family members most need to connect.
