Scenario

When couples grieve fertility struggles differently

My wife and I have been trying to get pregnant for two years and every month when it doesn't happen, we handle the disappointment completely differently — she wants to talk through every detail and I need space to process alone. We're both hurting but we keep missing each other in our grief.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are mourning the same loss but their different ways of processing are isolating them from each other when they most need connection.
