Scenario

When couples struggle to support each other through simultaneous loss

My partner and I both lost our fathers within six months of each other and we keep trying to hold space for each other's grief but somehow we're failing each other in ways that feel almost cruel. We're both hurting but we can't seem to grieve together without making it worse.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people attempting to heal from similar wounds discover that shared pain does not automatically create shared understanding.
