Scenario

When friend groups avoid grief to preserve connection

Our friend group has been together since college but after Sarah died two years ago we've all been pretending we're okay when we're together, like we're afraid that talking about missing her will make the fun we used to have feel impossible. We still love each other but there's this Sarah-shaped silence in everything we do now.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Sometimes protecting love means avoiding the very grief that binds you together.
