Losing a child is often the most devastating experience any couple can share. While some couples become closer after the loss of a child, many find themselves drifting apart for any number of reasons. Couples grief counseling for bereaved parents may be the solution if your relationship has suffered after the loss of a child. Here are a few "do's and don'ts" your counselor may suggest:
1. Do Bridge the Communication Gap
Poor communication is the leading factor that causes 65% of all divorces. Without proper communication skills, it is very hard for couples to not only understand, but also connect with one another. If you and your spouse are thinking about calling it quits, getting couples counseling may salvage what is left of your relationship, and help you both learn better communication skills to reignite the passion and love that was once there.
