2blu, Im just a bit ahead of you in my stitch. Im going to tell you right how you are going to hurt. Its going to one of the roughest things you have ever delt with, and if your lucky, you will get about 10 other things in your life that will go straight to hell. Seeems like the universe likes to kick us when we are down.

1.)See your doctor if you are feeling strong anxiety or depression. They can help and may even refer you to a therapist.
2.)Start reading through posts here on the board, I can almost bet you will find 1 or 2 that will seem like a mirror image to your situation and may find some insight and wisdom from them.
3.) When I was serving my apprenticship as a die maker an older die maker told me "Of all the things in life I have missed, this place wasnt one of them" He died 2 years before his retirement. For the love of god dont let your work sepertate your family. Many of us here have made that mistake.

Youve come to the right place to find many answers to the questions you will have and the roller coaster ride you are going to be on. But its up to you what you do with it from there.
