When grief styles collide.

Most friction after a loss is two people grieving differently. Choose two personas to see the dynamic and what helps.

How to think about any clash

  • Assume good intent. They are grieving too, just not the way you are. Read their behavior as care in a different shape, not as a slight.
  • Name the dynamic out loud: "We are grieving differently, and it is making us miss each other." Saying it lowers the heat.
  • Translate, do not correct. Handling the logistics can be how someone says I love you. Going quiet can be how they grieve, not how they leave you.
  • Be specific about what you need. People cannot guess, and a plain sentence beats a hint.
  • Neither of you is doing it wrong.

Grief groups

You don't have to do this alone.

We organize small peer groups of people who have been through similar losses, so you can be heard by people who understand.
