person A: I've been trying to be extra supportive towards my husband. 
person B: That's nice to hear.  It's always a good thing in a marriage to show each other support through thick and thin.
person A: Yes - so true. His mom is dying_comma_ and he is working long hours on top of it. I feel really bad for him.
person B: I'm sorry to hear that.  Just knowing that he has you to lean on probably goes a very long way in helping him get through that.
