Grief, memory and feeling alone in your relationship
Early November brings a natural focus on loss, family history and the passage of time. Partners often discover that they grieve in very different ways, which can leave both feeling misunderstood. In online couples therapy we give each of you space to talk about the people you miss and the roles you carry in your families. We explore how unspoken grief can harden into irritability, withdrawal or sudden conflicts about seemingly small things. Together we look at how you can support each other without forcing the same pace or style of mourning. We also talk about boundaries with extended family when traditions feel more like obligations than comfort. Learning to stand side by side in this season can deepen your bond instead of stretching it. If you feel strangely alone with your sadness even while in a relationship, registering for online support can be an important act of care for both of you.
