Newly diagnosed-sad husband

[Guest guest]

Pat,

I am sorry to hear about your hard journey. It is good that you

finally got a diagnosis though. Even though it is scary, it is better

to know.

I know your husband is having a hard time with it right now. He

sounds a lot like mine. Sometimes mine withdraws into his own little

world. He is supportive, but he just disconnects sometimes. It seems

to be his coping strategy. (I wish I could do it sometimes myself.)

Would your husband go talk to someone or join a support group? Maybe

it would help him to talk to other spouses. He is welcome to post on

here or join our chat tonight. It might also be just a matter of

time. We all need time to grieve. And losing a part of the life you

expected is something to mourn. I am sure you will work this out.

Welcome to the group!
