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.
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!
