When couples lose their sense of humor after surviving a natural disaster together

My partner and I survived the flooding last year and we used to joke about everything but now we can't even laugh about the water mark still on our basement wall and I don't know if we're protecting each other from something or if we've just forgotten how to be light together when everything feels so fragile.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Shared trauma has created a protective seriousness that's blocking the very lightness that could help you heal together.
