sorry for his loss. he needs help

I'm so sorry for both your loss. Sounds as though he's fallen into a severe depression. He may need therapy to help him through this. Be there for him, help him focus on the positive things, & let him grieve. His Mother would never want this for him. I'd let him know that you need him & are worried about him. Rally some family support if need be. Best wishes & take care

Sorry to say but sounds like your hubby is seriously depressed. He should seek some help, if he wont talk about things to you see if he will to a councellor? He may just need that stranger to talk to & to make him see the good things he has in his life worth living for & not focusing on the bad. But in saying that it is hard when a family member leaves us but he needs to talk about it. Good luck

You know your husband best. Is this type of talk typical of him? Is he the dramatic, end of the world type? If not, he is seriously depressed. He needs help and there is nothing to be ashamed about. Sometimes life is very overwhelming. He doesn't have to live with pain. Make him get help.

Definitely get him some professional help. Grief has both physical and emotional pain, so it's hard to understand if you aren't the one experiencing it. (I have been there). Talking to a psychologist will help him deal with his grief. What helped me was to put together an album of things that helped me remember the good things. Of course, I'm still sad, but it is no longer overwhelming. He's lucky to have you to stand by him.

just tell him that even if he die then her mother will b unhappy because she always want her son to be happy and if he die then she will feel hurted and also tell her that one day everyone has to go sooner or later and nobody is avilable to stay here .
so its all life,everybody knows that they have to go but what matters is whether they go with wish of god or they just gone because they cannot face the world with courage
try and hope all good
take care

Just love him, hold him and be there to,listen when he needs to talk. Time will heal. Of course if he is suicidal then get him help, you don't want to take any risks there.

Be his wife and try to talk and comfort him as much as you can. Maybe try to go to his family and gather some old pictures from when he was a baby and growing up until now and make him a scrap book about him and his mother.

GET HIM HELP.
my step-dad was the same way after the death of his mom. eventually, he had an affair, almost lost his job & his marriage (because she worked with him and after he tried to cut it off, she threatened sexual harrassment). he couldn't be a good dad to my little brother, jordan.
it can get very serious. i felt that he kept spiraling until he got help.
