you are right. Do something you love and it helps the pain and helps the depression. Who could not love quilting!? It's relaxing and helps you to forget all the rotten stuff. Sunshine is a BIG help.People who don't get enough sunshine need to take vit D3. My dr had me on 50,000 units for 12 weeks. Now I take 2500 a day, and it helps the mood. I've also found that music that I like ( I have a pretty eclectic taste when it comes to music) helps me, too. I can rock n roll or just be mellow or listen to Opera. What ever suits me at the time.
Walking is the very best exercise you can get. Just be careful not to overdo it, Start small and work up to 15 minutes out, and 17 minutes back. I've found it takes me longer to get back home, cause i'm gettin' tired.
Good luck, all of you. My heart goes out to you and your families.
