Staying strong, but man, it don't come easy.

This thread has brought up a lot of memories, all in retrospect positive. I did not have to deal with your circumstance(s), however, so my earlier advice is now tempered with great admiration for what you are doing.
As the Navy SEALs chant, the only easy day was yesterday.
Take pride in what you are doing, it isn't for the weak or feint of heart: You will do this because of who you are and the fact that you had to be there, nobody better.
