Dating a widower

Been dating a widower for just over a year. Today is the anniversary of his wife's passing and I'm struggling as I don't know how to act with him. I struggle with anxiety and this is making me anxious however I realise that today is about him and he needs my support I just don't know what to do to support him. Any advice?

@Closetbeanmuncher thank you! I think I deserve more too. I'm going to grow up and face this and deal with it instead of worrying about hurting his feelings because he clearly doesn't consider mine x

What made him change his mind?

@Ginger1982 absolutely no idea. I had my whole speech prepared and before I had chance to say it he hit my with that revelation! Still a bit in shock. Maybe he realised he was being a bit unreasonable
