It sounds overwhelming and I know is even harder without your husband there to help and just be with you. But it will be over in the not-too-distant future. Just get through it. You've come this far and you can make it.
Chiggers - they are terrible monsters! I'd never been bitten by them in my life until a few months ago. Oh my, I thought that itching would never go away.

How did they get BEHIND MY KNEES? Both knees. I'm scratching like crazy!
Oh, Kathryn, it is beautiful! Drink it all in and then you can savor its memory forever.
That's what I'm doing, and thankfully I have a lot of photos and will take more. I just have to let it go. I can do this, but it's just painful. So much of these past few years has been so painful. I never expected my 50s to be so bleak and so full of loss. I guess I am learning how to "gird my loins" or just tuck in and take it.
It's no fun. I just want to run off to where my daughter and grandkids are - with their healthy, young faces and vibrant lives - and just soak that in. I wish they weren't about 8 states away. But I might just hop in the car and drive there anyway. Boy, would my husband ever be surprised.
Hmmm....I probably won't do it but it's fun to think about.

DO IT. Start making the plans. I take it you and daughter mended up your fences nicely?

Not really.
In fact, no.
I have two daughters. Both have four kids each. I have always gotten along great with one family. The other relationship is very fractured. Ironically, the one I get along with so well actually lives several states away. The one I am at odds with lives less than an hour away, with four of my eight grandkids.

Don't even get me started on that.
OK that is kinda wild because the one 8 states away also homeschools? That is why I thought it was same daughter.
