I was wondering if anyone had an strategies for when your incarcerated loved ones go silent for a while?

My husband and I dont get phone calls, and I know if we did, then this would not be such an issue for us because he has no problem talking on the phone or in person. But for much of last year, he really struggled to write consistantly (I ask for 1 letter a week, he gets 1 6 days out of 7 from me) because he said if he started to try and think of things to write, his mind just went over and over what he had done to be in there and he couldnt deal with it.

The longest period last year was 7 weeks without hearing from him, and believe me I was just about at the end of my patience by then! I have great friends, one couple who the husband was in prison for a while and his wife is one of my best friends, helped me through those 7 weeks, encouraging me to just write normally and not even refer to my lack of mail. But it is now 3 weeks again, and I'm wondering if anyone else has any ideas on what might be the best approach?

Not writing is not an option.
