No, not on suicide watch. I think you're having a perfectly normal reaction, considering the weight of all of this. It's a lot for one person to manage by themselves, and although you have us, there are also support groups out there specifically for this kind of thing. Maybe it's time to look one up online, if there's at least nothing nearby available and no time to get to it.
It's been many years since my grandfather passed from a brain tumor (a result of lung cancer that spread, he used to spray the fruit trees in Gram's backyard wearing only a wet cloth for a mask), and his death was quickened by a hospital error (this was the late 70's, I was just a kid). My grandmother survived him, to live to be 72. But she was also visited almost daily by friends for years, as part of her own support network. Each person handles grief differently.
It sucks that all I can do from here is issue positive thoughts for a swift and clean operation, the very best of care, and wishes of strength and healing for both of you (mostly her for the healing).
If there's anything else I am capable of doing for you two in the meantime, however, I am here.
