She'd hate it if she knew I'd asked, but she is feeling a total lack of hope, is panicking and wants out.
No matter how hard I try, I cannot instill in her the sense of hope that I have for the future. Her response to all this is to want to run and hide or do herself in.
Please, could you spare her a thought in your prayers to help her find the courage to face her fears and let them go? It would also be helping me :) TIA.
Update: Thank you so much to everyone who has responded so kindly with their thoughts and prayers. I'm heading out soon so I won't be able to respond to every reply, but know that I am grateful.
Update2: You're all amazing, and I've been moved to tears by the amount of support you've all given us. Truly, nowhere else could I have found this, and it has helped. My wife was in much better spirits when I returned home tonight.
Hi Fren
Just think of all the people who are going to need support as they are ill or dying.
How many children are there going to be who need support because their parents are incapacitated or dead?
Would it help your wife to know that she will be badly needed soon? It's sometimes stops people from giving up to know how much work they have to prepare themselves for and how much difference they will be able to make.
I'm sending you my non religious prayers.
Unfortunately I already tried that approach, no dice. She's dooming hard.
Does she know that we are going to win?
No. She doesn't see it unfortunately.
