Scenario

When couples grieve differently and feel isolated together

My wife and I both lost our fathers within six months of each other and we thought grief would bring us closer but instead we're like two people drowning who keep pulling each other under - her grief looks like anger, mine looks like numbness, and we can't seem to reach each other.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Parallel suffering can create distance when each person's coping mechanism threatens the other's healing.
