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.
Prayers sent.
As others have noted taking a break from news, etc is great. I find doing "creator" projects together helps a lot (gardening planning, gardening itself, planting bulbs, building something small, crafts, cooking) or even just playing board games together.
The more I create, the less I consume (news, media, electronics) and the more balanced I feel.
I have also been on a Billy Graham kick. Although its on YT it has been a great way to close out the day. Especially on more discouraging days.
