How Couples Counseling Can Help After The Death Of A Child

May 10, 2018

Parents who lose a child suffer from severe pain, anxiety, and intense guilt about their child's death. In most cases, parents aren't directly responsible for their child's death. However, their guilt can drive a wedge between them that can destroy a relationship. Couples counseling can help grieving parents learn how to stay together.
Couples May Play The Blame Game
After a child dies, parents often feel like they are to blame. For example, a child who died after getting hit by a car may cause a couple to experience guilt about not being there to protect them. This fact is true even if the parents weren't watching the child at the time but had them with a babysitter.
That kind of serious guilt often drives parents to try to manage this shame by shifting blame to the other person in the relationship. For example, a mother may feel so guilty that she totally blames the father and ignores herself. These serious fights can destroy a relationship.
How Couples Counseling Can Help
Couples counseling can help grieving parents better understand the circumstances surrounding the death of their child. It can also help them manage their grief in a constructive manner and provide them with the outside help they need to get through this difficult period.
It can also help them move past the blame game to regain the trust that is so crucial for a healthy and healing relationship. It will be a difficult situation for any parent to get through, but it can be done.
So if you or someone you love is suffering from this difficult situation, couples counseling may be the best idea for you. Please contact us if you need to know more.
