Not knowing how long you have been together or if you worked before your illness... I think he would be happy with the family he use to have - him working, you taking good care of the house and children, and the two of you getting out with each other from time to time.

Give him some time to him self and his feelings and see how things are going in a few weeks then see if he is up to talking about a few of the issues.
