Relationships in general with those closest to you are often strained after a baby loss. It's hard to be around people who want you to be your old self again when you know that person is no longer there. The hardest person to connect with is often the one you love the most- your husband or partner.
Communication is vital in repairing any type of relationship breakdown, but when you are in the throes of grief and are experiencing severe hormonal shifts it takes a lot of effort to communicate effectively.
Couples who have a pregnancy loss or stillbirth run a 22% greater chance of divorcing than couples who never experience a loss.
