When my aunt's spine problems were worsening and was facing possible neurosurgery and convalescence the thing that worried me most was if I had the emotional resources to cope with everything that it entailed. I'm also pretty much disabled with depression and anxiety and have trouble getting out of the house much less running one or dealing with something like major illness or even worse. But the thing is I am coping with the situation. It was difficult and scary and there were many times when I felt like I couldn't handle this, but I can -- we all can.

I think you are a lot stronger than you realize -- we all are. All of us are capable of superhuman strength when it comes to taking care of the people we love the most. Most if not all the times these things happen so in someway we become better or stronger or our relationship with the people we love grows and strengthens. Your love can transcend pretty much anything. It's is difficult and scary and you might feel like it is pretty unfair on top of everything else you have to deal with but medical knowledge and tech is pretty wonderful these days; It's quite likely she has a bunch of years left for the both of you to enjoy. I will say a prayer for both of you.


C-PTSD: social phobia, major depression, dissociation.
Asperger's Syndrome.
Currently: 50mg amitriptyline single dose at night. 75mg Lyrica occasionally.
