My husband has recently lost his mum (aged 84 and diagnosed with cancer a year ago) and I’m really struggling to know how to support him. He is Autistic and has ADHD. He says he doesn’t feel like I’m supporting him or he’s not getting any help but I don’t know what I can do to help. I’ve tried asking him and he says he doesn’t know what would help. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Hi Liscaro. So sorry to hear about your husband’s loss and how you’re trying to support him. When my husband died my neurodivergent adult daughter took it very badly and wasn’t able to cope with the loss of her dad without support. She saw her doctor who referred her to a bereavement counsellor who had a lot of experience with neurodivergence. This was a great help. Perhaps your husband could approach his doctor for help? Good luck
