Question: 

My husband and I had D-Day 3 months ago. Since then, my husband will have long periods of time when he is down, discouraged, negative, troubled etc. This time can last from 18 hours to a week long surge of constant pain and hurt. I have been attentive and supportive and loving. He and I have talked about constructive grieving and when do you know when you have crossed that line into wallowing in pain?
