Grieving is very tiring both physically and emotionally.  One spouse may feel like they just want to lie down and go to sleep,  the other may seek the intimacy and closeness, that assures them that they are still as one.  This is the hardest part- because the seeking of intimacy comes across like there is no grief, no understanding.  How can someone think of intimacy when a baby has died?  Remember that everyone grieves differently and the only way to come together as a couple is through communication.  Even if you feel too tired to talk don’t shut your spouse out.  They have no idea how you are feeling, thinking or exactly how they need to react.
