Scenario

When family members grieve differently and clash over memory

My dad and I are both dealing with my mom's death but in completely opposite ways - I want to talk about her and process everything and he wants to keep busy and not dwell on it. Every family gathering becomes this tense thing where we're both trying to honor her memory in ways that feel wrong to the other person.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Grief is singular even when loss is shared, and different mourning styles can feel like betrayals of the beloved's memory.
