Things I've done that helped me so far to support my husband in his grief process over the loss of his father:
#Thread

- Most of the time he will suppress everything as good as he can. Let him be.

- He doesn't want to be seen when he cries. 👇
And if he does it openly, just spread your arms and let him come if he feels so. Do not comment on anything, ask anything and do not force closeness. Just leave him in that moment and stay next to him. It will give him security, maybe he starts to talk about it.
- You are sad too, don't hide your emotions. But be sensitive to the dose you show him. he needs your emotional strength now.

- He feels angry and often reacts differently. Overhear that.

- While organazing funeral, legacy... find him nice and typical things to laugh about.
- Clear everything that is unimportant but annoying out of his way.

- Leave him with the kids sometimes. Children deal with death differently, in addition to grief and fear, there is also curiosity and their incredible fantasy. Talking to them about it will comfort both.
