What Tamara says is right on. I knew my husband could take it but I worried so much about my kids. I was that "somebody's else's mother" who was their mother this time. It wasnt fair to them to think all the things they think. But all this is normal and a progression of what one goes through on this journey. I am now ten years out and your wife will be one day too. All you need is love and I know you have plenty or you wouldn't have written
