Grieving a loss can be one of the most difficult experiences a couple has to overcome. The keys to coping as a couple are communication and the realization that each person grieves in a different way and at their individual pace.

Your husband may appear to be handling the situation better simply because he feels he has to be strong for his wife, and part of that strength is shielding you from his pain. It doesn't mean he is hurting less. Men grieve differently than women. This is where communication will help you understand each other better.

This is a good time to reaffirm your love for one another. Grieving is often accompanied by so many emotions that sorting through them alone can be a difficult process. Being together or doing little things to acknowledge the positives can assist both partners in their recovery.
