all of your suggestions, CIPA has done throughout the sitch and it has changed nothing. So it's good that he's trying something different. If he had comforted her, she would have taken it as encouragement that she's doing the right thing. It's been her pattern.
And his saying that he "knows how she feels" is pretty spot on because she's been saying over and over again "this is how I feel". She's been pretty open in terms of what's on her mind, moreso than any of our spouses.
He's tried alot of things that have produced positive results and some negative. But in the end, it comes down to her.

Emotion, yet peace. Ignorance, yet knowledge. Passion, yet serenity. Chaos, yet harmony. Death, yet a new life.
