#19| Why Does My Partner Grieve So Differently After Baby Loss? Understanding Different Grief Styles
About this episode
This episode explores the different ways partners grieve after baby loss and offers strategies for maintaining connection.
After baby loss, it’s common for partners to grieve in completely different ways one wants to talk, the other shuts down; one falls apart, the other functions. In this episode, we name different grief styles, why they happen, and how to stay connected without forcing either person to grieve a certain way. You’ll learn: a simple way to identify grief styles (without stereotypes) a few phrases that reduce conflict fast and a small connection text you can send this week when things feel tense or distant Text to try:“Hey—I know we grieve differently. I’m not asking you to be like me. I just need a little closeness. Can we do 5 minutes tonight no fixing just us?” For more support, resources, and coaching, visit my website.
