PraiznJesus1, you have been through so much.

Welcome to MB. We are sorry that you are here but glad, too--it's a place of healing and support.

I know I've seen others here with spouses with bipolar disorder. It seems to me it generally has been husbands whose wives have it that have posted.

How are you coping with the literal loss? And all the emotional trauma you've been through?

Blessings to you in these difficult days.
