Does it ever get easier loving someone with mental illness?

This is not a rhetorical question. I would like to know if it will always be this difficult and hard? Is this what the rest of our life is going to be if we ever figure out if there is still going to be a we? I am really struggling with loving my wife and I feel horrible.

I think some childhood traumas can mess-up a person so badly, they're extremely hard to recover from, though not impossible. To have to remain beside someone that entire time while they're recovering might be beyond what's normally possible. Just my thoughts. Maybe some people are able to.
