How can I support my partner as he grieves his child and starts over?

[MariaEve]

We recently moved to another state for a fresh start, hoping to leave behind painful reminders. Any advice or wisdom?

Pretty much what everybody said on here being a father who's lost twins myself the biggest thing I could ever ask from a wife girlfriend and significant other or even a good friend Is just realizing I'm going to have good days and bad days they're going to be some days I'm probably just going to completely totally lose my shit I just understand sometimes just being there and not saying a word means more than anything in the world!

Very difficult. Don’t push. Just be available.

Give him the space he needs but don't leave. He'll open up and come round when he's ready to. Grief is different for everyone.

You cannot take away his grief, but you can help him feel less alone while he learns to live alongside it.

My aim on GAG is to help people build healthier, deeper relationships… and your heart here is beautiful 🥺

Let him grieve in waves, without a “timeline.” No toxic positivity, no rushing. Just soft presence. Ask what helps: quiet, hugs, distraction, rituals. Encourage therapy or a grief group. Protect your own mental health too. Grief can make people shut down, lash out, or numb; don’t take it as rejection.

Remind him he’s allowed to build a new life without “replacing” his child. You’re not fixing his pain, you’re walking through it with him… and that’s powerful love.

Often, trying to fix the pain or find the right words can feel overwhelming. Focus on simply being there. Offer a quiet presence, physical touch like hugs or holding hands, or gentle distractions when the weight feels too heavy.

By just being there for him however he may need you to be
