Scenario

When couples' spiritual needs diverge after trauma or loss

My wife and I used to go to church together but after our miscarriage she can't stand to be there and I still find comfort in the community and the rituals and neither of us knows how to handle the fact that grief has taken us to completely different places spiritually. Every Sunday morning becomes this painful negotiation about whether I'm abandoning her or she's asking me to abandon something I need.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Shared grief creates divergent spiritual paths that threaten the unity couples need most when they are most vulnerable.
