United support from loved ones and peers, has a greater effect than most people realize. This scenario is all to familiar, and belive me, being in the thoughts and prayers of so many sympathetic souls is not only a testament to your character, but will also grant you strength beyond imagination. There is a lesson to be learned in every life experience. Beyond the sadness should be gratitude; for shared experiences, emotional times (good and bad) smiles in the morning, kisses goodnight. These are the values of life. Be greatful for the lesson, whatever it may be. I don't know you or your wife personally but my sympathies are sincere. You are in our thoughts.
