Hearing stories like this make me sad but for another reason, it saddens me to know that people get rid of their cars for these kind of reasons.

Knowing myself I would be the one working 2 or 3 jobs just to make sure I could hold on to it! Regardless of what situation my wife was in.
I thought about working longer. I can tell you a love one with an illness takes up a lot of your time, mental and physical strength. I had a heart attack 10 months before I sold the car. Cars are expendable. And in some cases they have a way of coming back to their original owner.
