I'm so sorry. I'm sure being a nurse you know more about his condition than the normal person would. Sometimes ignorance truly is bliss. I hope everything goes well and Charlie can adapt easily to the new lifestyle this will surely bring.
And I hope you take care of you, too. As women we tend to get all wrapped up in making sure everyone else is taken care of and neglect ourselves. I am the biggest offender here.
We're not helpful to others if we don't take care of ourselves, too. I should learn to take my own advice. It's pretty good!
