I'm so sorry for what you're going through. I totally understand because I have just been through this myself. I have three teenagers who watched their father die from this horrible disease in a slow and torturous manner. Let me just say that they are probably stronger than you are right now. Someone said to me that as long as Mom holds up-the kids will also. I feel like they are getting over it faster than I am at this point. We were married for 20 years-not all peaceful but good for the most part and I feel like I lost a part of myself. Let me know if I can help in any way.
