Sorry to hear that news Deb. I think spending as much positive time together would be a great thing for you both.
I may have missed it as I haven't been on BYC or Facebook very much at all, but are you or Ken seeing a therapist by any chance? After working in a counseling center for nearly five years, I am a HUGE advocate of the positive benefits counseling can provide, and I think it may really be beneficial for you guys. Hopefully you won't take this suggestion offensively, as I don't mean it to be at all. I also apologize if it's already been mentioned or discussed. Even though you and Ken are very close, it seems you are both thoroughly stressed and this can make it very difficult to discuss things with each other, even when you just feel like you need to burst! Having a third party to vent to and who can give advice about handling stress is a great thing.
I do wish the best for you and Ken, and if you ever need someone to talk to, please don't hesitate to send me a message. (I know you have a huge online support system, but I am always willing to help out a friend when needed)
