My loved ones loss
My husband just lost his father and it's tearing him apart inside. He's picked up drinking and pill use to deal with the grief. He has stopped taking care of himself also completely let himself go. Any advise on what I can do on my end for him? I just listen to him and try to encourage a better lifestyle. I have even called therapists for him and not getting through. I know I can't rush his grief but just trying to help him find a healthier way to get through each day.
@blueOcean6753 I'm so sorry for the loss of his father. Losing a parent is hard. I know it's harder than I thought it would be. He sounds really depressed. It's good you listen to him. Drinking and pills numb the pain. He has all this pain and all these complicated emotions and doesn't know what to do with it
@blueOcean6753 awww I'm sorry for your husband and your loss, it's never easy the grieving process😥 luckily he has a loving wife, who is reaching out on his behalf ❤ we all grieve in different ways, I think it's important right now to just let him know he's loved, maybe do little things to make him feel special, like a box of chocolates, or flowers, perhaps even just a note he can find (this may sound a bit girly, but whatever he likes). It always helps to if he can talk to a friend or someone he doesn't know, cause he might be able to express himself better with someone else, for the only reason he might not want to hurt you by talking about things. Hugs you tightly ❤ I'm right here if you need to talk ❤
