[Intact]

Believe it or not something very similar happened to me, about a week after BD my dad landed in the hospital and there was some question as to whether he was going to make it or not (he's almost 80, much tougher for him to recover these days). In my dad's case he did recover which I am very thankful for, but I remember that feeling of utter despair and hopelessness when that happened on top of getting the bomb dropped on me. Yet today I am happier than I've been in probably 10+ years. All you can hope for right now is to persevere, just hang on for now. Once you have some strength back then get back to work on GAL. You'll eventually not only survive, but thrive. I know it doesn't ring true to you right now because I remember people telling me the same when I was in the dark and it didn't ring true for me either. I had to drag myself through day by day. It was the most difficult thing I've done in my life. I did it for my kids. Put yourself in S8's position, and think about what he needs right now, and be that for him. It does get easier. You will come out of this!

Thank you - that's all I'm doing at the moment dragging myself through everyday for the sake if my son - god knows where I'd be without him.
