Welcome Gwenavr,
You seem to have so many worries at the moment in so many different life areas, that it is difficult for me to know exactly where would be the best place to begin in advising you as to what you could possibly do to improve the particular situation. I am assuming that your husband's depressive illness is only making matters considerably worse for you, as you are now being effectively left alone in your ongoing efforts to hold the family together, without any assistance from your spouse. If he is depressed he is also probably more prone than most of us are to having thoughts about taking his own life, so he will require constant attention and treatment from a qualified medical practitioner to prevent him from carrying this out. But I wish to ensure beyond any advice I give you through a reading that as his loving wife you are also being offered whatever medical and professional support and counselling you yourself require for being his carer.
Two of the things most lacking in your life as I see it at present are a sense of both faith and hope. You are constantly in a state of information and emotional overload, and it is therefore little wonder then that you feel so overwhelmed by the sheer size and complexity of the many varied challenges which still lie ahead for you as an individual, as well as as the head of the family. It is quite bad enough that you have so many problems to cope with at one time, but it is made even more complicated as many of these problems are feeding on several others. For example, if your husband is himself depressed he may not be able to continue to work and bring in some money to pay medical bills,to get some practical financial advice or to help you in dealing with the issues you are experiencing with your children.
My advice on the basis of this reading is for you to get whatever support you can from your close friends and other family members, as well as any professional assistance you can afford. I believe that if you can delegate responsibility and share your load with as many other people as possible, getting their help in one area will give you more energy left over for yourself to be able to better deal with other issues which they may not be able to help you as much. A burden which is shared is more than effectively halved, and I feel that you deserve all of the outside help you can possibly get in helping you to once more feel reasonably in control of your life. Removing a weight in one area could soon tip the balance in your favour?
As you are I sense a very spiritually minded person, could I also please encourage you to read and talk about such matters which inspire you to not to let go of your most cherished dreams, as I fear that you are in danger of losing yourself in the process of trying to do your very best for the family. Don't forget to use some daily positive spiritual affirmations in order to strengthen your own faith that you are loved unconditionally, and that you are never left entirely to your own resources in coping with all this by yourself. Even if your conscious mind is telling you quite the opposite is true, you are a much stronger person within yourself than you may presently believe you are.
Loving regards,
