I too teared up reading your post. Here we don't have the answers, but we certainly can feel your pain.
Unfortunately life is not fair. But I make a point of focusing on the good. I would be lost without my family support. They don't really get what I going through, but they keep me housed and loved.
I wish I could be of more help, but I just want you to know you are not alone. I will keep positive thoughts for you, your wife and your dear pup too.
