Listener email: '...my partners father passed away suddenly just over a year ago, it was a shock for us all – but my partner has really struggled with it...I have tried to be supportive, and I have so much sympathy for him but he has become so moody, irate and at times even withdrawn since it happened, he can be short and impatient with the kids too' Have you lived with someone bereaved and found it tough? Have you been grieving in recent times, and can identify with her partner? Ciara hears from listeners
