When couples struggle to communicate about grief support needs

My husband lost his dad three months ago and I keep trying to help by giving him space when he seems sad, but yesterday he told me the space feels like abandonment and I realized we've never actually talked about what support looks like for him. I want to be there for him but I'm afraid of doing the wrong thing again.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people who love each other are missing each other in the darkness, each trying to help in ways the other cannot receive.
