DJS-
I will pray for your family and you, pray for comfort, healing (of mind and yes, body), courage, peace and acceptance. Because we love our survivors so much we often focus on their immediate care and ease up when not in "fight for your life this second" mode. I felt like there was something I was actively doing during Ed's treatment to fight the fight - and when the "active" fight was over found that I let up on the pressure to the doctor (probably because I was so drained from the "fight for your life" mode. Don't flog yourself, we all do the best we can and sometimes it doesn't meet our expectations/hopeful outcome. God bless you. I'll pray for specifics.
