#TheFixer with Stacey & JSbu: "I want to help him grieve but he keeps shutting me out”

Loading player...
When people lose those dear to them they always find it hard to get back into the routine of things, because people grieve differently, but what happens when those that are grieving don't let you help them?

That is the predicament of one anonymous KZN listener who sent Stacey and JSbu an email this week for their feature known as, #TheFixer. Read her email below: HI Stace and JSbu, My partners father passed away a month ago and since then my partner has turned to a different person. He keeps to himself and is very irritable-which causes him to shut me out and snap at me for silly things in the home. I want to support him grieve but I just do not know how to. Also, as much as I love him- my patience is running thin.

What should anonymous do?
