Is there help?

I find myself in a panic and getting really depressed when I see my husband getting weaker and weaker with his IPF.  Anybody have any hints as to help get me settle down and enjoy the time we have together?

Hi Dear,
It always helps me to write when I'm depressed.
Keep a journal
Write out prayers or letters to God
Write letters you never intend to send ( to whoever: your husband, his doctor, yourself)

You need to support your husband in his IPF. He is going to depend upon you more and more. I understand your depression but to make your time the best together is to delay that depression and be there for your husband. I would also seek out to see if there are any groups in your area that might help or seek the help of a TDoc. But just be there and cherish him. I know this is hard. I'm sorry about your husband's IPF
