Relationship difficulties
I was told numerous times after our little girl was born sleeping that this journey puts a lot of pressure on relationships. It’s something I am really struggling with. We just don’t see eye to eye on anything from grieving our little girl, looking after the dog to keeping the house tidy. I have taken the weight of liaising with the the investigation team and handling many admin type things but anything I ask him to do to take a bit of burden from me just never gets done and I am so frustrated.
We have started grief counselling together but it feels like taking 10 steps back at the moment. I love him so much but it’s just so hard.
Did anyone else find their relationship tricky after loss?

@Kaitlyn thank you ❤️🩹
Of course 🩷
I've found speaking with someone (bereavement midwife) separately helped as I felt I can say things I would worry would upset my husband. He has found aspects of our little boys death easier to deal with than me and obviously doesn't have the physical recovery to cope with. We have times where we are snappy and have kind of accepted this and have a chat about it after rather than bringing the issue up when we can see the other person is having that mood. Communicating has been so important to us both. We regularly check in with each other and make time together. You'll both get there 💕 x
