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.  Disclaimer: This podcast is for supportive and educational purposes only.
