10 Coping at home Home can be a place of comfort and safety, but sometimes there are problems at home when people are grieving. Tension and conflict Your partner or other family members may be grieving in different ways. Sometimes this leads to hurt feelings. It is important to be patient and understanding with each other. Everyone needs space and time to grieve in their own way. Loneliness If your partner, family or friends do not understand how the death of your child is affecting you, you could feel very lonely. If you live alone, you may feel very isolated. You might feel even more alone if you have no other children. It can help to talk with other parents in similar situations.
