| So, my husband and I have gone through a miscarriage over the last few weeks. Although the physical process seems to be nearing its end, the emotional recovery process has been slow. I definitely expected this, and my husband and I have a great support system. I'm doing much better lately; letting go of the guilt, allowing myself to grieve when I need to, etc. But, I'm really concerned for my husband. Physically I've needed support and assistance, and he's been there every step of the way. He holds me when I cry, he reassures me and supports me. But I don't think he's grieved at all. I've asked him if he's okay, because I want to support him like he has supported me, and he says he's fine. I asked him if he's grieved and he says, "No, not really. I don't feel like I need to." Is this common? My husband nearly always stuffs his feelings away until he doesn't notice them anymore, and he's always struggled with being open about his feelings. He's never been dishonest about them, but he rarely(if ever) says how he feels without being asked. And even then, he doesn't go into detail. I'm worried that he needs to grieve, but doesn't know how. And I sure as heck don't know what to do to help him... Advice please? I don't know what the consequences might be if he doesn't let himself grieve... | |||
