Michelle,
I feel very sad for you but everyone has posted great thoughts and advice. I think men are cooler than women and women don't like to ask for things - like a hug, etc but they want it. Men like to be left alone unless they ask for something. Do what will make you happy and well. Local support group, counselling, medication for depression, and keep riding your horses! My husband's was great through my first illness and is still coping with this time - (secretly I think he thinks I should be even more stoic about it all) but I'm not sure he ever sent or gave me a birthday card! or flowers - something I hinted at for years!!! but he'll suddenly just get me something because he thinks it's right for me. Except for some extraordinary ones (some on this site!) men have a really hard time dealing with their loved ones illnesses and don't give us nearly enough hugs.
big hug,
sarah
