You're still grieving Kathy, and it's a long, painful process. You also are faced with making a new life for yourself and that can be pretty scary! I know I'd rather sleep than have to do that at times.

I used to be with a Women's Center and we had support groups. They were wonderful, and so helpful. Maybe a bereavement group or a support group?

I don't believe in suffering, so I'm an advocate of antidepressants if you're depressed and counseling if you're not happy. I do believe that antidepressants should be prescribed by a psychiatrist, not your family doctor.

I hope you don't ponder that it's a crutch or that you can handle it yourself, or else you're weak. Leave that foolishness to Tom Cruise.

God meant us to be happy. He loves each and every one of us.
