Seeing a loved one in such a horrible state can really scare a person. Maybe it would be beneficial if he saw a therapist?

I think you need to reinforce to your husband that you are home now and that it all worked out, so you can live a long life together. It is important to remember our past but not live in it, but rather live in the present and dream about the future. Maybe setting some goals for you and your husband of things your going to do, will help him think of more positive things. HIs thinking he should have been there and died, well the point is you didn't die, so why even talk about that. A lot of family when they see a loved one sick and helpless think it should be them not the person laying there, but the fact is we can't change whom is the sick one, and whom it happened to. But your alive so I think you need to begin planning your future and enjoying each other. One thing in life is everyone is going to pass away it is a given, but we can't all sit around wondering when it is going to happen or think about it, or life will pass us by. So enjoy each other and do things together, even if your not feeling so well yet, and can't do much. Play some board games or cards together and turn the event into something you shared together, just from different perspectives.
