My husband is a therapist. He texted me today that one of his clients died i tried saying how i know he made a big difference in her life. I can tell he is very sad. What in the world do i say?
What would u say to your T ?

Remember, you are talking to your husband, not your T. He needs you as his wife right now. Be there. Hold him if that is what he needs. Be a listening ear. Take your cues from him.

Yes, I would just be there if he wants after he comes home; no need to "say" anything, you said all there is to say; just your active presence and willingness to listen if he wants to say/process it with you would be nice I'd think. My husband often says when we are having difficulties, "We're on the same side!" What would you like from him and think he, as your husband, would like from you in this sort of situation?

Also remember that he has ethical and legal limitations on how much he can share with you. So, if he is not saying much more to you about the situation other than that his client died, do not encourage or pressure him to talk about it. His silence is not a reflection on you or his relationship with you.

Best to you and hubby,
EJ

Yep true to everything. I do know a few things about her, but nothing that would give away who she is. Obviously my husband cant share a lot with me which i think makes it harder on him. Probably he will talk more to his best friend about it who is also a T. I just dont know what to say. When my favorite student died i didnt get much support from anyone incl hubby. Ive had so many people i love die, but no one talks about it. So i never know what to say
