Maybe you can so some family activities together? Something simple just to spend time together to help take his mind off work. DH and I have a policy that if work is getting really stressful we never talk about it at home. That helps not to obsess over it as well.

One thing I do is try to visit him at work for lunch or even just stop by his work with a coffee. I also try to make sure he eats enough protein for breakfast. I make some paleo sausage/egg/kale muffin cups. If you buy precooked sausage and silicone muffin trays it takes about 10 minutes to prep and maybe 20 minutes to cook. Plus they freeze really well.

My husband tends to get frustrated because he doesn't get time to unwind with his family, and he lets his physical health slide. So I try to support him as much as possible by making it very easy to see us and eat well.

Focusing on when the stress will be over (and that it's temporary) is helpful for me (but that's only helpful when it's temporary!)

And I like when DH's texts me random nice things when he knows I'm stressed at work. It breaks up the rage and snark

@Corduroy: that does sound hard! I don't personally work from home but have read little tricks people do to try to trick there mind into "'going to work' and 'leaving work'. Sort of like when it's hard to be home and 'go to work' they will dress like they are going to work, walk out of the house then back in. Maybe there could be some trick like that he could try? Overall it sounds like you are already doing a lot to help him out.
