Bereavement

My wife was diagnosed with a form of cancer known here in Germany as "the Murderer." It is always fatal because it is never discovered until there is no hope to save the patient. Because she had already had cancer before (2001), she got checked out for what seemed to be three trivial tiny spots. Two were, as expected, nothing. One was the Murderer. She underwent a brutal operation, but was that one in ten thousand who survived it. If it had not been for that, I would have lost her seven years ago, after 43 years together.

Knowing the total wreck I would have been if I lost her, I can totally sympathize with you. I can only hope never to be in your shoes.
