Good luck to your wife, **lieu**. **lieu** –this is going to sound stupid or smug, but it’s not intended to be. Take some long walks. Your family will need you now, more than ever. So stress management is something you’ve got to do to keep from losing it. Take care of your wife & child–but take care of yourself, as well. ---

Dammit, **lieu**. Sorry this is happening to you. I’m gonna pray for your continued strength and courage. Please do take time for yourself, as others have suggested. This will sound trite, but sometimes you just have to put one foot ahead of the other and slog it out. It will get better. Maybe worse for a while, but it _will_ get better. Sweety and I send our love to your family.
