She'd hate it if she knew I'd asked, but she is feeling a total lack of hope, is panicking and wants out.
No matter how hard I try, I cannot instill in her the sense of hope that I have for the future. Her response to all this is to want to run and hide or do herself in.
Please, could you spare her a thought in your prayers to help her find the courage to face her fears and let them go? It would also be helping me :) TIA.
Update: Thank you so much to everyone who has responded so kindly with their thoughts and prayers. I'm heading out soon so I won't be able to respond to every reply, but know that I am grateful.
Update2: You're all amazing, and I've been moved to tears by the amount of support you've all given us. Truly, nowhere else could I have found this, and it has helped. My wife was in much better spirits when I returned home tonight.
We are all human and we are always filled with doubt. Think about putting more trust in Jesus as Jesus knows what is best for all of us.
I do, but I worry for my wife, it's not like I can force her to see past all this bullshit.
That's true, and as a wife, I can tell you that I am definitely a bigger 'doomer' than my husband. What helps me is continuing to stay close to Jesus and to those I love, vaccinated or not. You can encourage her to communicate her feelings and listen closely to her concerns. Pray with her, and pray for her when she is feeling non-communicative. I know the next thing I say may sound (at least) odd, but if you two ever enjoyed singing together, get back to it. Hymns, classic songs, silly songs doesn't matter. Singing together builds a bond that helps strengthen you.
Will be praying for you, Jonathan, and your wife. ((hugs)) for both of you! Stay strong!
