Scenario

When couples grieve the same loss in completely different ways

My partner and I lost our son two years ago and we've been grieving completely differently — I need to talk about him constantly and she needs silence to process, and lately it feels like we're grieving in separate universes even though we're the only two people who knew him the way we did.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people who shared the deepest bond with what was lost find themselves isolated by the very differences in how they process that loss.
