Your wife went through hell and back, there's no doubt about that. But to watch a loved one suffer is pain in its own right. It may be small compared to what she went through, but that doesn't make it unimportant. In the same way that the joy of having a child doesn't diminish the pain, the magnitude of your wife's suffering doesn't diminish yours either. Take care.
