To my friends here,pray for my wife.

[flash]

Gary,Maureen doesnt realize what she is saying or doing is hurting you and Lindsay. She is in survival mode and stressed out and may never realize how hard things have been for you. Just hang in there and give her space when she needs it and hugs and support when you can. Her medical problems also dont help ,been there .More than anything she needs your understanding and support. You have our support ,we will help if we can.

Gary:

Just saw this thread. All of your family are in my prayers!!! No offense to anyone as there have been many good posts but I think Hank says it best. Be there for Maureen and for Lindsay as they will both need you.......

I know you have to work Gary but being by her side, you don't have to say a word, just being by her side is probably the best thing you can do for her.

EDIT: It's like going to a funeral. The person has passed on, there is nothing you can do for them. You go to show your support for the loved ones that are still here.

Certainly, but you can also do that in your own private way. The important part is being there and the support your presence gives the family, loved ones. Just seeing you, even if they don't have time to spend with you makes a big difference. I've had more than one person tell me that. The fact the I was there meant a lot to them.
