I've namechanged as I don't know who knows who I am on here.
DH's mum died in May after being ill for 18 months.
Of course he's devastated but he is also being very hard on himself. To my knowledge he has only cried once (he may have cried in private though). He is quite grumpy and generally sad but will not connect his current mood to the fact his mum has died. He says he 'shouldn't be feeling like this' or 'using it as an excuse to feel sorry for myself'.
I know he loved his mum and watching her die was horrible (we were there when she went and I almost feel he needs to get over that experience itself). His family is very middle class and don't 'do' emotions compared to mine (who frankly 'overdo' emotions).
I asked him if he wanted to go to bereavement counselling but he said he doesn't want to talk about it... but it's making him feel shit anyway!!
Can I help? Any advice?
