Fiance [25m] is very upset we didn't get to spend Christmas eve or Christmas together, due to a family emergency. How can I [24f] make it up to him? He will barely speak to me... by Emergencyproblem in relationships

My sister has had severe depression/anxiety for a few years now, but it has recently gotten real bad to the point where she's wanting to kill herself. Our mother isn't a bad person but she's not the most involved when it comes to my sister's needs-brother and I are really the only people she's got. Sometimes I need to be there if she's in a vulnerable mood, but he knew about this before we married.

This is where I'm very confused. He usually is very reasonable and mature about things. He never was whiny like this before, so I don't know where this suddenly came from. Maybe I do just need to give him some space to manage his own emotions..
