Welcome to the forum. Sorry you're here. I too wonder if my H situation is MLC or other. (see my thread for details). Not anywhere close to your situation. Reading has been helping me cope and journaling here mostly, has been good. Of course, GAL helps. Anything to get your mind off things you can't control.
Regarding helping H get a new cell. One side of me says, hell no, let him figure it out for himself. Don't offer to do it. And the other side thinks get him set up, but take him off the plan. This situation has been going on for 2 years. He needs to figure out a few things on his own.
These two links helped me. And I have quotes all over to remind me to be patient & strong. Reading and rereading & rereading.
