The wife does not handle the loss of the child very well, and resents the husband for being so composed. Her reasoning and thoughts are clear when she talks about the anger she feels about the death, and how she will not accept it. From lines 102-106 she talks about how people eventually move on and go back to what they know. She has no intention of doing that, and instead will live in grief and think the world is evil.
The husband follows the path that the wife see's as everyone else is follows after death. He accepts the death, but he has grieved. The husband handles the grief inside himself, and the wife resents that. He handles death how I do. He is able to reason it, accept it, and move on but never forget. The wife knows how much she is grieving, and wants to see him grieve like her.
I know how they both feel. We are all different in the grieving process. It's unfortunate, but it happens. I don't know what it is like to lose a child, and I hope I never have to lose a child in my time alive.
