DH response to mother’s Inquest

My mum died in December and the inquest was this week. After it, I came to my DH and told him what had been said in it (accidental death, as expected, so nothing shocking but obviously still sad etc). His response was literally 'Huh.' I'm not joking, literally that, not even a proper word. He's useless with difficult emotional stuff a s I've known that for years but things like that I just struggle to see how he can't see that's unacceptable. He has t said another word to me about the inquest since then and I feel like I don't have the energy to raise it with him. Just one example like this, sadly I could give loads.

That is sad op. Sorry his response was so lacking.

Could you tell him you found his response inadequate/hurtful? I presume you've tried thst previously?

I’m so sorry you lost your mum 💐

I wish you had better support in your grief.

Thank you. Yes sadly past experience makes me not want to bother but I,probably should raise it with him. But it’s my birthday tomorrow so don’t fancy the tension right now!
