OK, so this just happened and I could use some thoughts and advice.

My W just called me (she had apparently tried a few hours ago, but I had turned my phone off). She told me that she is feeling really bad and has been crying all the time for the past 2 days. She told me she is going to see an IC there (not the one, obviously, that she is seeing there).

She also told me that the baby has been waking up in the night every night and she is exhausted.

I tried to empathize and listen and tell her that I was very sorry to hear.
I asked her if there was anything I could do to help.
She told me no and that it annoyed her when I ask!
She said she thought the tears were just "part of the process" (not sure what that means and didn't ask).

When she asked about here and how the kids are, I also told her that things were great and kept very upbeat (didn't say a word about being so down).

Is there anything I should be doing here?
Should I be concerned about another IC in the mix? (though there's not alot I can do about that).

I think there's something happening here that could be an opportunity, but am lost as to the best way to handle. Anyone have any experience/insight??

Thanks
