Home Burial

There are two different speakers in this poem, the husband and wife, the mother and father of the child they just lost. They take two separate approaches on grieving, the husband seems to have accepted the loss of his child, while the mother is still very upset over it. The father, while he has seemed to have accepted the loss of his child, is now more focused on comforting his wife and making sure that she is okay, which you can tell by her tone of voice that she is not. I feel as if the husband's approach is better than his wife's. While i'm sure that he is upset, he handles it much differently, by not losing his cool and by focusing more on his wife, while she just seems angry about everything now and is uncooperative with her husband is so upset that she needs to leave the house when she says "I must go- somewhere out of this house." The wife, however, does have a reason to be upset after losing her child, I wouldn't know the feeling and hope to never know the feeling, so I can understand that she is upset, but for the long term I think that her husband has the better approach.
