[quote=Anonymous]My DH cried for a couple of days after the death of his parent, pulled himself up by the bootstraps and went back to work immediately (even taking a work trip between death + the funeral which was a week later). It was odd. But the gloominess never went away. He began working way too much, up too late at night working, traveling, cranky, disconnected, a little too much drinking, etc. It resulted in some pretty tough times in our marriage, and ultimately a culminating event a year later. After this culminating event, he began therapy, set up healthier boundaries with work, and realized he never really dealt with the loss. I'm not sure there's much you can do other than be there for him and keep your eyes out for avoidant behavior. I'm sorry for your loss![/quote]
