My wife told me post Tx that she would often go sit in the car or another part of our house and just cry. She didn't want me to see it and man it would have definitely put more pressure on me if I had seen it during Tx but she just felt so alone with really no one to talk to that would have understood her. I didn't find this site until 3 weeks post Tx and she's not the computer type unless it's got something to do with gossip.
