Does A Paralytic Stroke Indicate Shortened Life Expectancy?

My husband had a stroke 6 months ago & is still going for therapy to regain full use of his right arm & leg. I think he is doing amazing he can t use a knife & fork & can sign his name. He gets depressed because he thinks he won t be around to see his grandson grow up. He has diabetes also & is on insulin. Does a stroke necessarily mean that you have shortened your life expectancy?
