Karen -
Your story is heartwrenching and I wish I could offer more than a shoulder, but I am no angel. I am simply a woman who cares for others, always have. I lose parts of my pain through concentrating on others. Though the tiredness make take your fight, the fear take your breathe, the pain seize your soul, there will always be the sun to come touch your cheek when the darkness seems the worst. You are not alone.
