I know you didn't want us to reply but when have I ever been able to control myself? I am so so sorry you are going through such a bad time. Your wife is and always will be in my prayers.
I, too, went through a time I couldn't talk about it and if you don't answer this post, I will totally understand. But, I love you too and I would love to be of some help to you if you ever feel like talking.
I was SO scared when my son got so sick with the brain tumor. Why, this was what you heard OTHER people having to go through! It wouldn't happen to ME! But it did and, wow, have I run the gamit of emotions.
I was SO damn mad at first. Why MY only child? But, then, I know I wouldn't have wanted it to be someonelses child.
I kept to myself, refused to discuss it and cried all the time. I was so scared I was going to lose him. It affected our marriage as we both handled it differently. I didn't want anyone around me for the longest time
But, things started getting better when I finally did put my hand out...to my best friend. She held me when I couldn't stop crying and she called me often to see if I was ok.
It's so scary to have someone you love so sick. To see them that way is hard. My son was stronger then me and he was there for me too, when he was the sick one.
You have a lot on you. Stress CAN kill. So, please, even if you can't talk about it, try to find a channel to release the terrible worry and stress I know you have.
And know that I care very much. You are very special to me. Many hugs to you and your wife.
