Not sure of this is the right place to post.
I've been with my new boyfriend for 3 months but things are starting to get serious. We both came out of abusive relationships so we are both working on trust etc.
Last Christmas at the ages of 37 he had a sudden cardiac arrest. Very long story short his ex wife wanted to leave him but keep the house and his military pension etc so drugged him. She admitted it to him in hospital but despite the police trying there is not enough evidence to prosecute. She evidently changed her mind about what she had done as she was the one to call the ambulance.
Its coming up to the 1st anniversary of his death as he calls it (he was dead when he arrived at hospital) and I can tell its bothering him. How can I support him through this?
I tend to deal with tough situations by making jokes etc and I thought of getting him a plushie heart to give him. He deals with things by being jokie too (he made a joke the other day about throwing a death day party) but im not sure if humour is the best way to handle this.
Sorry for the long post.
