Struggling to help a depressed spouse after a tragic loss

When tragedy strikes, it can hit us hard – especially if it’s the unexpected loss of a loved one. For “Andy,” the passing of his mother 11 months ago sent him spiraling into a deep depression. His wife, “F32”, tried her best to be supportive, but it’s been a difficult journey. Andy quit his job, barely paid attention to his wife, and refused to seek therapy. As a result, their relationship has suffered, and F32 feels like she’s at her breaking point. In a recent argument, F32 said something hurtful to Andy – telling him to “get over his mom” – and he lashed out, calling her a hurtful name. F32 acknowledges that what she said was unfair, but she’s struggling to cope with the emotional burden of being her husband’s sole support system. It’s challenging for anyone, and F32 wonders if she’s the A-hole for her outburst. In the following comments and reactions, let’s see what others say about this difficult situation.
