GOOD FOR YOU. You sound like a very loving and responsible parent to your girls. Something your wife is incapable of doing. Please move on for the sake of your girls. It pains me to hear your pain of how to tell your daughters of their mom's death. She kind of is already "dead" to them. Please don't try and normalize it and make it seem like they have a "mother" bc they don't. They're old enough to know their mother is 'sick' and her lack of caring about them should not reflect on their actions. I hate to sound harsh, but her goes: I think you ought to act like she has already passed away and go on with your lives as a family. If she 'comes back', then you can figure out how to reunite at that time.
