I'm pretty much at a loss for words with him anymore.
Oh I totally understand!!!! Maybe when he mentioned going to his niece's, you can say "What did you guys do?" and let him talk. Enjoy his conversation without strings. Your H is funny, right? So enjoy his humor. I found myself relaxing (even now), when I just listen and don't talk too much.
Please don't get me wrong, I think you are doing so well. I am glad it doesn't hurt as much for you. I know its still a daily ache, the loss and fear, but its not as debilitating anymore. I am happy for you.
