The death of a spouse shortly after marriage, the death of a young child, or a host of other events can be emotionally difficult for those left behind. In some families the response is simply to “not talk about it.” Sometimes that unwillingness to talk eventually leads others to conclude that there’s some “scandal” or “big story” connected to the event. That’s not necessarily true. Scandals are not the only things that people may be reluctant to talk about.
