I don't know if this will be of any consolation, but I suffer from mild anxiety and depression and knowing what I know from that, honestly if she had depression, going the way she went is honestly best case scenario. It may not have been time, but I'd much rather not have any clue and just wake up in Heaven.

Don't be a sanctimonious prick.

So sorry to hear of your loss. There will be many "what if's" in your future but you must remain firm in your life's decisions. No regrets, right?
Someone once said: "To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die". Know that she is with our Lord Savior in heaven, while at the same time, she is still living in your heart.

No words. I'm so very sorry.

The worst for me was about 2-3 months in. After that it slowly got easier, but more than a decade later it can still be pretty raw. Hang in, life can still be good, though it may not feel like it now.

I’m so sorry for the pain that you’re feeling. Please turn to God during this time????

No question marks. Please turn to Him.

It's rough, Man. Just keep your head up as best as you can, and keep moving forward one day at time. You don't ever get over something like that, but you learn how to deal with it a little better each passing day.

Sorry for your loss Jim. Worse thing about getting older is losing people you love. Everyone in my family is gone except my niece.

I’m not a therapist but I want to say (with some hesitation): Good. You’re going through it, not around it. You’re not in denial, you’re not sugar coating, you’re hitting it head on, and it fricking sucks. But it will get better.

Could you stand to volunteer to deliver meals to the home bound?
I've actually been volunteering with a food bank once a week. I guess it's worthwhile, but I don't get a warm feeling from it. People show up and we carry boxes of groceries out to their car after they;ve been verified. In a two hour shift, we're usually busy the first hour and the second hour we mostly sit around and shoot the shite. The whole time there I keep thinking how much I want to be alone with my thoughts.

When my family were dying, I somehow had an overwhelming feeling that they were still with me. My Mother complained that her mother had been paid back on a load for the first cousin's college years ago, and the money came after my Grandmother died. I looked at Mother and told her "She knows." My Mother looked at me as if she didn't believe me. It didn't bother me, because I KNEW that my Grandmother knew.
I know lots of people have those kinds or experiences. I wish I did, but I never have. When my mom passed away, my SO actually dreamed about her. My mom told her to take care of me. Eight months later she's gone too.

Jim I don’t have words to make things right all I can say is just do whatever makes you happy my wife just lost her brother to cancer and just found out her sister has cancer also. Life is I guess what you make it. Sorry for your loss and if I can help you anyway I am usually on here in the early Am.

Had my first appointment today with a therapist. 28 year old female, moderately attractive. Seems to know her stuff pretty well. Will meet weekly for a few weeks and see how it goes. Will also refer me to somebody else in her practice to discuss meds. I was cautiously optimistic after the session. Still going to be a long haul though. Seems like it gets worse these last few weeks.
At some point I will have to figure out what to do next. I met her later than most, when I was used to being alone. Then I met her and found out I really liked being part of a couple. The thought of being alone for the rest of my life scares me, but the thought of trying to jump back into that world nauseates me, not to mention seems disloyal.
. I didn't find her, she found me. I wasnt looking. She basically poked me in the chest and said "You're the guy I've been looking for all this time." The chances of that happening again are slim and none. Even if it did happen again, it, wouldn't be the same.

You’re right. But you don’t have to figure that out tonight, tomorrow, or even this month. Take your time. Establish some routines to stay busy. Get outside of the house.
At the very least, a therapist can be a sounding board for you. They’ll reassure you that’s it’s okay to feel how you feel. And trust me, it is okay. It’s ok to be sad, pissed, etc.
And yes, sometimes it will get worse before it gets better. Just push through another day. It WILL get better.

So sorry, prayers for you.

Another week in the books. Not getting easier. I just put one foot in front of the other and try to keep going. People are willing to give you about two weeks of sympathy and then they're ready for you to move on. If you don't, they move on without you. So I've quit talking about it. I've had a couple of sessions with a therapist. Too soon to tell if it will do any good. I start some meds next week. Maybe that will help.

I still think about you and this thread. I hope your days become easier, and that you find peace. I'm going to pray for you tonight bud.
