Sorry to hear about your W,

I have a couple friends who have had cancer and gone on to beat it. In fact, one of them was given a less than 10 percent chance of making it through, but he did.

I read somewhere that one of the things that brings couples back after a divorce is a tramatic event or illness in the immediate family and by no means would anyone wish this upon your W or anyone close to you, it may be a chance for you to be exactly who she needs right now.

I don't know your beliefs in God, but it might be his way of saying "ok buddy, i will look out for her from up here, but this is your chance to look out for her from down there."

Help her beat it Stander, I know you can be there for her in ways you may not seem possible. Do all the things for her she needs, just like you said you would.

Do you honestly think OM is going to be there for her when things are at their darkest?

This may be your opportunity to shine for her, and i guarantee you that she will notice and remember just who was there for her after she beats this. It will not go unnoticed and you can be the man she is looking for all along.

Good luck and take care.
