How do I deal with this situation?
I (26f) have been married to my husband(26m) for 2 years, dating for 6 and I’ve known him since I was 4. Tonight we got a called that his mother(46f) has passed away on her own terms.. my husband and I have dealt with her addiction and mental health for a long time now and we knew this was a possibility. We used to live with her two separate times and each time it got difficult and we ended up leaving after about a year. We had a really good relationship in the beginning, probably the first 3/4 years, then she dove deeper into addiction and it really started to impact her relationship with my husband and I. My husband had a good childhood with her, as she was a single mom but always worked her hardest to make sure he had everything. It was something my husband has talked fondly about. They had a cottage they would go to and they often talked about that too..
We knew she was struggling and attempted to help her and were pushed away. Well last night we got the call and my husband is 6 hours away for work and I don’t know how he is going to process this. He is without family or friends and I can’t drive up because the drive is too long for me, I’ve checked bus routes and there’s nothing that goes from me to him. I just want to know what I should be doing to help him through this difficult time. He struggles with communicating emotions and feelings but I know he’s going to get overwhelmed and upset with all of the phone calls he’s receiving. Any advice is helpful. Thank you
