I don't know where to put this but DH is sick and we are in bits. *MNHQ edit to ask posters to read update before posting*

It has been such a shit year. DH has been so sick, numerous times I've been told he probably wouldn't make it then he seemed to make magic happen and got so much better. Now things have gone downhill really quickly and he is back in ICU on a ventilator and I am having to have the same conversations with doctors that I didn't think I would have to have again.

We have 2 DC, who are 8 and 2. I am a mess but trying to put a brave face on for them. 2yo obviously doesn't grasp exactly what is happening - just that daddy is in hospital again. 8yo is anxious and sad, much clingier but trying to be brave.

I just want to stay in bed until this is over.

How do I help my children through this? And how do I get through this?

He may well recover, I have seen him make bigger miracles happen than this. He also may not. Either way all 4 of us are still so traumatised by this year that this is a huge blow.

Just looking for some advice or even just for someone to tell me a nice thing thats happening in the world.

So sorry op Flowers

Oh Panda, how awful for you all. I'm so sorry.
Would it help to tell us about your dh?
Is there anything in particular that is hard right now, that talking to us about might help with? I know it all must be hard, but did a specific incident or thought or something trigger your post tonight?

I truly am very sorry for your loss.
