Knowing you've been served today, your wife is going to expect a quivering blob of pitiful QS today. Don't give her the satisfaction. Positive, upbeat, confident. Not polly-anna-ish annoyingly so, but strong and resolved.
If at any point she asks you "How're you doing?" you tell her "Surprisingly well -- I know I'll be fine, regardless. This isn't what I wanted, but I know now that I'll be just fine." And you will. I promise.
