Scenario

When family members grieve the same loss differently

My mom and I are both dealing with the aftermath of my dad's sudden death and we keep trying to take care of each other but we grieve so differently that our attempts at comfort often feel like criticism or dismissal. We're the only two people who understand this specific loss but we can't seem to help each other.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Shared trauma does not create shared expression, and different grief languages can feel like emotional abandonment.
