Excellent description of the different stages that your husband went through.
Although I agree with you that the LBS should not watch the stages, somehow I just don't think that it gets through to the average LBS'er. Including me.
In retrospect IS the only way to tell the movement within the stages and the big caution that I would say is that you can't leave out any facts. Facts that the LBS'er may not even know. Like the presence of an unknown OW/OM.
I agree that the only one that we can work on is ourselves!
