Husbands/significant others dealing with depression after loss...

To the ladies who've dealt with miscarriage/stillbirth/late pregnancy loss - how have your partners handled it? We lost our sweet boy at almost 22 weeks gestation and the first few months were tough, but I had just started a new job & school so I sort of engulfed myself in that. My husband, however, has struggled all year on and off with his emotions.

At some points he wouldn't even realize the loss and other times he was so overcome with emotions he turned to drinking :-\ The last month or so had been really bad. He's been overly emotional WAY more than usual. He's been drinking a lot and says it's the only thing that numbs the pain. He wants to move on and try for a baby but is afraid of that happening again. I have not pressured him at all this year and have only this month started tracking my ovulation to ttc. I'm so worried about him and at a loss what to do.
