Conflict Support
Conflict during times of loss and stress is completely normal. When emotions run high and decisions feel overwhelming, families often find themselves in disagreement. You're not alone, and there are ways to navigate these challenges together.
Why Conflict Happens During Loss
Different Grief Styles
Everyone processes loss differently. What feels right to one person may feel wrong to another, leading to misunderstandings.
High Stress Decisions
Medical choices, funeral arrangements, and financial decisions must be made quickly, often without clear guidance.
