Did you know that, statistically, losing a child is one of the surest causes of divorce?
75% of married couples who lose a child and up losing each other, too. And then they lose their marriage. Or maybe they lose their marriage and each other at the same time?
Why?
Because no two people grieve alike. And everyone seems to be the authority on the "right way" to grieve.
It's no secret DH and I are worlds apart when it comes to expressing emotions. And now, four years after the worst tragedy of our lives, we are trying to pick up the pieces of our commitment, brush off the dust of resentment and neglect, and figure out if this union can be put back together.
I wish I were more invested. I never thought I'd look at our years together, the love we had for each other, and shake my head. Wondering if it's worth the effort it will take to rebuild. And wondering why I'm not more passionate about fixing what's happened.
