Trauma in Marriage: Grieving Differently Without Drifting Apart - Matt & Sarah Hammitt

from FamilyLife Today® · host FamilyLife Network

Your marriage is fraying under trauma's weight: Grief looks different for each of you, perhaps as one withdraws, the other controls, and resentment builds. You misread coping as rejection. But understanding trauma responses changes everything. Sarah and Matt Hammitt of Sanctus Real share raw lessons from their critically ill child's fight. These two know faithfulness isn't a feeling; it's the hard step that redeems connection when hope feels thin. They'll help you stay connected and redeem the wounds.
