Watt, I know how hard it is to admit weakness but here on OCF no one will hold that against you because we've all been there or gone through it with loved ones. I did break down and cry one day and when my wife asked why I said "I don't feel up to this, I'm failing this test". Well, I didn't fail. I'm not particularly strong or macho but I did get through it and am still getting a little better day by day. Meanwhile, I sure hope SDI will help you financially. No one needs that stress on top of it all. But, mostly, take care of you and keep your strength up.
