This is a hard question to answer considering I don't know you.

If your husband was very close to his mother and extremely emotional over her death then he is allowed to have his grieving period (there is no limit to grieving) and it's a natural process and a healthy one.

Perhaps you could ask friends, or your own parents if they could take the kids for a weekend and try to get away with your husband. It doesn't have to be an expensive trip, but just somewhere where you could perhaps walk hand-in-hand on the beach, talk about how he feels about his mother's death, try to give some comfort and wise advice and simply let him know you understand the best you can as to how he feels.

Try the mini holiday. If you can't afford this or don't have the time then try a whole day off on the weekend and a nice dinner in the evening and walk somewhere. Get in touch with each other and simply let him know you are thinking about his feelings. It will help the grieving time run a little more smoothly for him.

Good luck Marcy

Just try to be as much of a comfort to him as you can be. Be his best friend AND his wife.
