Hello Jay:
I am also very blessed to have a supportive husband of 40 years, children, grand children and great-grand children and a host of friends. At first I was really down and soon began to hate myself. I had to learn to love me first and then I could reach out to others. My advise to you is be thankful for life and a wonderful family who Loves you. If you are beautiful inside then outside will not matter. People will see you for who you are, A HUMAN BEING.
It takes time, but if you sit home and think the worse, then the worse will come. Take your wife out, then take the family out. Your God is your greatest hope, family is your greatest support, and when all is said and done you must have faith.
Take things one day at a time and try not to stay shut-in, it is not healthy.
We are all here for each other.
