Dear Jenn
What a tough time. I wish I could come and spend the night so you could get some rest. We have known each other only a short time but you strike me as a strong, resilient, independent woman. However strong people need help too and it sounds like family is not really able to help at this time.
I am not sure what the health system is like where you live – is there someone you could contact to get services (if that is something you would want)? You have worked at helping so many people – is there someone(s) who could help you? I am concerned that if you have to manage everything on your own, you might get ill too.
Have you read Xenia’s post, how to deal with an ongoing illness and drs. telling you husband has 6 month to live. I know your situations are not the same, but perhaps reading her and others’ posts there would help support you.
And Jenn, I want to express my sympathy to you - a man you loved, married and had children with has died. That is a great loss.
Take care. I will be thinking about you.
Katherine
