Vise I know it is hard. I ma doing exactly what you said, posting in hopes others are feeling the same things or are about to go through them, or even someone has and can tell me what they did.
I agree about DB sooner, i do think if i started the real process of doing this back in April we wouldnt be at this point, but who knows, she was very confident then that things can not work just like she is now.
I am getting ready to write myself a list of everything and anything i can think of that i may want to try doing and then slowly start picking these things off. I may not stick with all of them, but i am going to try some stuff. I also know that once she is gone i am going to put my own fingerprint on some things around the house. I think she did an outstanding job with our house but i will need to make it my own once she is gone.
I will say this, it is going to be very hard if she starts to struggle to not help. I have always been that person to her, and the fact that she will have my kids makes me want to even more.
