Just got married and we got the worst news.

Nothing that has ever happened to me, good or bad has ever impacted me more emotionally than what has happened to my wife. She got promoted at work and I was eternally proud and happy for her. I've had to have counseling after her seizures left her unconscious, bleeding, not breathing with lungs full of vomit during the final episode.

I resuscitated her, got her to the emergency room. She had brain surgery which fixed the problem. I lose my mind every time she gets sick now, even if it's a mild headache, but I hide it so she doesn't know how much this all has impacted me.

Never thought I would ever need counseling, even with the dangerous life I lead. To the OP, I'm very happy the love of your life is doing better. I don't know what kind of psychological toll this has had on you since everyone is different, but counseling was effective for me.
