The understanding, the acceptance has to come from your wife. It may take a lifetime.
I suggest that you support her in the way she deems appropriate. If she wants you to go to church with her then do it. If she wants to be prayed over, find a shaman or priest. If she wants to participate in some new age ritual, by all means see that it is done safely and sanely.
My friend just prayed over me and I felt so good for days. Have you prayed with your wife? Have you blessed her?
Of course I still had to take my meds a few days later but I firmly believe taking control of the situation, making a life affirming choice, can be just a powerful as any pill.
Thank you for caring for one of our own.
