I am very sorry to hear about your troubles. I can relate as my husband is having an increasingly difficult time with this. We have had two of the "heart to hearts" you mentioned and he is fearful that I will never be myself again and is frustrated that I'm almost 2 months out and have back stepped more than I have moved forward.

I just keep explaining to him that I need and love him very much. I told him that it's difficult for him to "see" how I feel because almost all PCS symptoms aren't physical. Things happen in life that we cannot explain for better and sadly worse which is what has happened. I just keep having strong faith that the big picture will be seen one day and I will use my weakness to be someones strength. Hard to imagine now, I know.

I struggle just as you do with showing love whether it be physical or emotional to my spouse. I just have to keep explaining that some days its all I can do to get out of bed and breathe. I don't see any harm in going the relationship therapy route.

I will say a prayer and I hope that you pray too for God to intervene and shed light to guide your path. If you haven't heard of a daily devotional called Jesus Calling by Sarah Young- it has brought much comfort in a time that is very hard. It encourages me to be patient and say the things I need to communicate with my spouse.

"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path" Psalm 119:105
