Dear Red Hot Mamas Experts,

What can I do to help my wife through menopause?  She’s miserable and making me miserable too.


John

Dear John,
You’ve made the first step in recognizing that she needs your supportive help.  Here are a few things you can do:

-Be supportive, tell her you love her

-Accompany her to her doctor’s visit so that you will better understand menopause, how its affecting her, and what are the things she could do to help her get through it

-Ask her what you can do to reduce her stress and do it

-Encourage her to exercise and exercise with her

-Buy a dual control electric blanket if hot flashes are a problem at night

-Be a good listener

 

We hope this is of some help to you
