You will be missed..

Life has been pretty rough these past two years. I’m 23 and it’s like I haven’t gotten a break. My grandpa died on Monday after his colon cancer came back, after being in remission for 5 years. The man was doing chemo in his late 80s last month and now he’s gone. Being that I have lost a lot of loved ones for my age, death is sort of a sense of relief now. You know they’re struggling so hard and once it comes you’re happy that they’re not in pain anymore. I feel like I should be depressed but I’m feeling more happy that he’s in a better place and no longer in physical pain.

Anyways, this week has taught me that you’re in control of how you react to what’s going on around you. The more I can identify my negative thought patterns the easier the depression is and the more I am able to switch my thinking to positive thoughts.

Embrace you’re life. It’s the only one you have.

Sorry for your grandpa, but well said. Thanks for writing this. Ups and downs and losses are a part of life. As you say, how we manage our reactions to it all, is what controls our happiness. I have found there is growth and some peace after every trial. Thanks again.

Thank you for your response. I just really needed to put it out there. You see so many negative posts here so I wanted to post something more positive. Even though there is so much negative in our lives, there is positives even in depression and I wanted to share my experience with positivity with depression. I appreciate you’re feedback!
