Hi all, my Partner lost his Mother to Pancreatic Cancer two weeks ago. It was all very sudden and he is struggling to cope with his grief. I am trying to help him through the best I can and support him but he is taking all his anger and frustration out on me and it creating an enormous strain on our relationship. I feel lost and don't know how to help. Does anyone have any advice please?

  • Hi,

    Sorry you are both going through this.  All I can say is the old cliche about hurting those you love the most.  Try to be patient with him and take it on the chin.  He will have so many mixed emotions right now I'm sure he wouldn't want to upset you but grief makes us act very differently.    If he becomes violent that is another matter.  Would he consider going for some therapy maybe.

    I wish you the best
