I'm sincerely sorry that you've gone through so much disruption and suffering. Much of what you've lost (children, loved ones, friends, understanding, work) may yet return to you.

I have this same problem. If we can truly understand the disease then we should accept that we're not to blame for all that's happened. That logic looks good on paper but I haven't been able to internalize it. Work hard to forgive yourself; the guilt and shame are as much a tragedy as your losses.
