TLISM

Thank you so much for the input. We are still not sure what will happen, but my wife starts chemo on Monday. We had a photographer out and took family pictures (it was on the list over Christmas, but just didn't get done). For a few days, I honestly wasn't sure if she would live or not, she was in a real bad way. Thankfully, she appears to be getting stronger and the chemo should get rid of this type of cancer. I thank Heavenly Father for every day . . . this is her 3rd round with cancer, the first two were skin cancers (one of which was melanoma), that just required skin surgery. To be honest, this is really rough; it turns your whole life upside down and inside out. I know that God lives and that His mercy and grace is sufficient, but it doesn't make it easy. Everything from the possibility of losing my love in this life, to possibly being a single parent, to raising my kids properly, to the horrible fact that I will never have any more children with my wife. I love my children so much and we really felt we should have several more and now the ability to have flesh and blood with her is gone in this life . . . It's rough and I appreciate the counsel and advice. I know that whatever happens, the Lord is merciful.

I would like a little advice for any who might be so inspired or inclined to give it. My wife was recently diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer and we have several little children. At this point, we are not sure what the future will hold, but simply based on the probabilities, it is a little dire. I am at peace with whatever the outcome may be at this point. I hope that the Lord will be merciful and spare my wife, but I understand that my ways are not His ways and my will is not His will and I pray for the strength to bend my will to His will. I know the Lord will provide, however if anyone has any advice on how to help little children-the oldest is 6-go through something so traumatic at the possible loss (or loss) of their mother, I would be greatly comforted. Thank you
