There is so much emotion to your writing. It's raw, gripping, and will help so many people learn how to approach their grief and struggles in similar situations. My heart hurts for you and your family. Thank goodness you reached out for help. You are an amazing human being.
Noticed a typo "How I help someone if I am hopelessly lost?" vs "How do I help..."
It’s very hard to know who to approach first - who to seek the first support from. You appear to have chosen wisely.
My situation upon finding out was very different. I think the oncology clinic recommended some resources for us, but at the time we were more concerned with how to let the boys know. They were 9 and 11.
It was only after they knew - that Friday evening in our living room - that I started looking for any resources for me, which mostly was reaching out to family and close friends.
Thank you! Amazing how typos pop up even after you are CERTAIN that there are none.
