Scenario

When family members grieve differently and clash

My mom and I are both dealing with grief after losing dad, but we're grieving completely differently and it feels like my way of processing is wrong to her and her way feels suffocating to me. We keep hurting each other when we're trying to help and I don't know how to bridge this gap between us.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are encountering the fundamental loneliness of grief while simultaneously needing each other, creating a painful cycle of mismatched support attempts.
