Five years ago my husband lost his brother due to a heart condition. It was very sudden and very sad, but we all managed to get through it ok.
Three weeks ago he lost his sister due to a boating accident in a lake. She drowned and we don't know why. Again, very sad, and he is taking it VERY hard. I can't say that I know what he is going through, But I am trying to be supportive as best as I can.
My husband has recently started being mean to me and the kids. And I don't know what to do. If I try to talk to him about it or ask him what I can do to help him, he tells me that he is fine, then he'll argue with me about it and make it my fault. He is yelling at the kids for no reason.
I love him so much and I want to help him, but we live paycheck to paycheck, and can't afford a therapist for him. I just dont know what to do.

(((((Russell_Mom))))) Sorry for your loss. It can be hard to lose someone. I just lost my sister in law after giving her CPR for 2 hours. Anyway, If you are on a limited budget you my find a state run health service with a sliding pay scale. Also there is a forum her for grief you might want to check out. Hugs for your day.

Thank you and hugs for you too! We had a very long talk last night about almost everything. He might be coming around.
