My wife never really moved on after our only son passed away. She's had counseling, medication, and one involuntary stint in the hospital, but it seems that she's still pushing everyone away, me included. After conferring with her friends, most of whom can't bear to be around her anymore, it's evident that she's under the delusion that someone giving us their child (as we cannot have any more of our own) would magically fix it. I think it is an attempt to get a "do over" with our son, and I wouldn't really be comfortable with her and children right now.
None of us are sure what to do, and there's a common consensus that she's pushing everyone aside so she can feel free to either waste away or commit suicide. I'm calling her doctor on Monday and relaying all of this, but what gets to me is more the contempt she has for me and everyone else. It's really hard to deal with.
Pray that God illuminates the path for us. We love her, but we can't help her this time. Nobody can but God.
Prayers are offered for you and your family, particularly your wife. Your devotion to your God and your wife are inspiring but I'm sure your anguish is very real and challenging to bear.
Ed,
So sorry this hasn't improved since last shared. You're a wise man to realize that children need a health environment to grow.
Most of all, I'm sad for you to no longer have your life partner by your side.
God can only help those who seek his counsel and path. He will watch over her, love her, but can only heal those that want his help, at least in my belief. But then, I'm finite and God is infinite, so what do I know???
Prayers for God's mercy to be on her and to heal her mind, heart and soul to be part of the living and accept your son's passing.
Prayers for your strength as well, Ed. Double wammy for you.
Keep the Son in your eyes, my brother!

Prayers for God's deliverance and grace
May the Lord shine his light on her and heal her pain. In your mercy Lord.
Things are getting better, thank God. She's getting more honest with her doctor and new med changes have her able to see the good in things. It's gonna be a long road but it feels like I'm getting my wife back. We have a lot going on, but we'll get through it together.
It's not all roses here-but I can see the woman I married sometimes again. I thank God and take what I can get.
Praise God & continued prayers that His smile returns to your wife's face.
Ed, Daily prayers continuing for you and your wife. May God heal and strenghthen you both.
Excellent news, Ed, that you're seeing some light at the tunnel and it's not a freight train!
Prayers continue for God's magical healing powers to be upon your wife and her recovery back to the real woman God made her to be, shines thru for both of your sakes!
Keep the Son in your eyes!
