Oh, heck, 'Nettie, I'm sorry to hear of your situation.
"No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee..."
John Donne - 1624
That might sound somewhat maudlin, 'Nettie, but it's not meant to be. Even if we cannot be with you through this trial the members here have expressed their thoughts to YOU. Please think of them when you are feeling depressed about your lot. In other words you are NOT alone even though the connection is as tenuous as the cyberworld. I suppose that given your original post that's self evident anyway so I'm probably waffling on about something of which you are already aware.
