I am in a online support group for siblings that lost a sibling. I do have good moments , but I do very badly when I am alone. I think its because then I don't have to act like I have it all together. I just try to straighten up before I get out of the car. My life and how I feel now is nothing like how I use to be. I just keep thinking about that day and what happend, and how I don't know how long it will be before I get to see him again.
My sister suffered from depression really bad. Please, please go ask for help. You have children and a husband that love you very much and need you. You can see all throughout this thread how much medicine can help and it sure sounds like it will help you tremendously.
I think this a wonderfully eye opening thread. Thank you Marsye for starting it so that many other people can understand more about depression.
