To hold space for my husband's emotions

I'm trying to be more present and supportive when my husband is emotional, but it's hard for me to feel his feelings

What I wish I knew
"How to better understand and validate his emotions without taking on his guilt"
If I could tell you one thing
"Be patient and open with your partner, and try to understand their struggles without taking on their emotions"
