My DH suffers from it. I go to monthly support group in the faciltiy where he resides. Last month I had presented each person with a small fabric covered pack of pocket tissues.
I explained that we all came to share our stories and ask for help and it is all right to shed tears. On the back of each packet I put a small label:
A gentle answer wards off wrath
But harsh words stir up anger.
Proverbs 15:1
