Ask Allison: My husband's unresolved grief at the tragic death of his brother makes him hard to live with. How can I help him?

Psychologist Allison Keating addresses a question about a husband dealing with his brother's suicide and unresolved personal issues. She highlights the profound impact of grief, loss, and trauma on relationships, emphasizing that these feelings often go unspoken. Keating notes that there can be societal expectations regarding who can grieve, but ultimately grief is universal, affecting everyone in different ways. The response suggests a need for open communication and encourages addressing difficult emotions to foster healing and connection in relationships.

"Few lines capture so much a grief, loss, tragedy and trauma and the profound impact they can have on all relationships. There are so many unspoken topics around grief and people feel afraid to address them."

"There's a sense that only certain people have a 'right' to grief, but of course grief belongs to no one person."
