When i have got through some really rough times in life, times where i couldn't/thought i couldn't turn to somebody for advice for whatever reason, the thought that there is somebody out there with even more grief to handle and if they did I could pull through too.
One that always gave me strength was from my teen years and a girl who lost her boyfriend to an accident. About 2 years later her brother. A year later to the very day of her brother was her mom's death.
I don't know if i could of pulled through what she did at such a young age.
All you can do is what you are doing and talk about it to someone. Spend as much time visiting with those who are ill as you can and like has been said lean on your wife and son to have somekind of joy.
Thoughts and prayers to you and yours.

Interesting thought. I read in the paper last week about a family in Boulder with two teenage kids - one boy and one girl. The girl was killed in a car wreck. Then one week later in a completely unrelated incident, the boy was killed in another accident. I can't even imagine what the parents must feel like right now.
I don't say that to be a downer, but I suppose I say it to point out that Fat Elvis is right. It could be worse - you still have your wife and son. Love them with everything you've got and lean on them to help you through everything.
