Scenario

When parents and teens grieve the same loss differently

My teenage son and I are both dealing with my ex-husband's sudden death, but we're grieving completely differently and I don't know how to bridge the gap between us. He's angry and pulling away while I'm trying to process my own complicated feelings about someone who hurt me but was still his father.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are mourning the same person but experiencing completely different losses, leaving them isolated in their shared sorrow.
