There is a private group on here for carers called “Carers Corner” you might like to join.
Call the hotline if you need help joining.

We came through and I believe our marriage is even stronger for the experience.
Best things you can do are show her you love her no matter what and just be there when she needs you both emotionally and fir practical things .
I know for my part there was an awful lot of crying in those first few weeks.
All the best and you can ask anything on this forum - we are all here to support in any way we can,
