My partner and I used to share this dream of homesteading and living off the land, but now when we talk about the future all we can think about is climate disasters and water shortages and we've both just gone quiet about it. We're still together but it's like we're grieving the life we thought we'd build and neither of us knows how to talk about what we want now.
More people experience this than they realize.
Climate grief has quietly dismantled their shared vision of the future, leaving them emotionally isolated even while physically together.
