If you've read any of my recent posts you'll know a lot of my recent anxiety stems from difficulties in my current relationship. Almost at breaking point, if it wasn't for us owning a house together with nowhere else to go...

Anyway, skip to this morning. We received a call to tell us his dad passed away last night... Now my instinct was to park any of my recent concerns about our relationship and address the new priority, helping him deal with this sudden trauma.
I have let him know that I am here for him should he need anything, and then given him space as seems appropriate - so he can talk when he's ready.

I'm not sure that he really wants anything to do with me, but I will be there for him regardless as he deals with this grief. Any other issues can be dealt with at a later date, this certainly is not the time for additional stresses.

Does anyone have any other suggestions what I can do to try and help? I feel useless...
