hrm, I'm sorry to read that you were ill, but it sounds like you are up and about now.
I'm very happy for you. Life is turning around for you and your h. Continue as you have been, i.e., be paitent and no expectations! It's one step forward, two steps back and do not get discouraged if you do step back a couple of steps. It all a process and what you need to be aiming for is the finish line.
Continue listening to your h and validating his feelings. He needs you as his sounding board and when you validate him, it makes him feel like he's worth something.
You are doing great. Keep up the good work!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
