Nonfiction books to help me as the spouse of someone with depression and suicidal ideation

My husband is suffering with depression and suicidal ideation. I feel at a loss of how to support him. He is in therapy and we are trying joint therapy. Please suggest any books that: discuss how to cope as the partner/spouse/loved one of someone with depression, give me insight into how we might feel, might be books he may find helpful, and practical/grounded suggestions for how to respond to him. Feeling lost.

Hello! Moving to the area and looking for daycares/preschools people can recommend that are outdoor based/heavy or Montessori based. Would appreciate hearing from people with personal experience at the locations you mention. Thank you!

My son is 8 months this week. I have been making purees for him for daycare. The daycare teacher recently told me I need to start sending actual foods. She said he "needs" to be eating with more texture so he can learn. My life has been so chaotic (become a de facto single parent unexpectedly) I haven't had the time to even think through this. Now I am feeling guilty that I am "behind" on solids. Looking for reassurance that I am not doing it "wrong" and/or tips to help me transition. Today I sent him with sweet potato mashed with a fork and some sweet potato roasted wedges.

I’m looking to move to the Ellicott City or Columbia area. Could you please share if you live in an apartment that you really like in either of these areas? I’m not listing budget because I can be flexible and I know the area is expensive.
