Try asking her? I'm sure she will be pleased that you are thinking of her emotional wellbeing - and that in itself is a sign that you are recovering too. In my case, my wife had the TBI and I'm her carer. It took a good couple of years before she could handle that side of life. Nature had a few tricks up her sleeve too, I was so tired, depressed, anxious, stressed and on antidepressants, that it wasn't really going to be a problem anyway ;-)

I think both sides often make assumptions, and don't talk about these situations out of a sense of not wanting to push their partners.

Its good to talk, and of course, write things down if you feel you will be overwhelmed by the subject.
