How couples can navigate fertility struggles with different coping styles

My wife and I are trying to conceive and it's been two years of disappointment and we handle grief completely differently - she wants to talk through every detail and I need space to process - and now we're grieving our losses separately instead of together.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Grief shared between intimate partners can become grief divided when different emotional processing styles create distance rather than understanding.
