Scenario

When fathers and adult children struggle to connect after loss

My dad and I have been trying to have deeper conversations since my mom died but we both get uncomfortable with emotion in completely different ways — he shuts down and I get angry — and every attempt to connect just leaves us both feeling worse about the distance between us.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are trying to bridge an emotional gap but their different defensive patterns keep reinforcing the very distance they're trying to heal.
