Beth Just finish up catching up your post... I am not sure you may be over analyzing things. I would suggest do not do anything after your coaching session. Question to you: If you decide to call him for lunch, then you don't hear from him or he just decline. How would you feel? I am not saying just stay in denial. I still see you are focusing on H's behavior which you have absolutely no control over. I know it is hard to detach, but we (LBS) have to do it to survive. Please try not to put any time line on anything. I guarantee you any time line will NOT be yours. If your H is a deep depression, he can only be helped from professional. I remembered you said some sort of hotline his boss will call. Any action from that end?
Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is mystery, Today is present.. Stay in present, keep working on ourselves is the best way to handle the future.
Trust yourself Beth, you are lots stronger that you think.
