It's been 2 years since my world shattered like a glass being dropped onto cement. I truly couldn't think straight. I've had depression most of my life and spent 24 years in Hell (about that later). I met my true love after that 24 years and was truly happy for over 30 years. Two years ago that happy life crashed when he passed away. My mind froze at that time and for the next 18 months it was total anxiety, depression, and as I mentioned, I was literally, mentally frozen. I couldn't do or think about the normal tasks of or in life and I panicked at any decision. -----Well, my friends, I have had the fog lift, starting about 5 months ago. (slowly but surely).

This post is to give encouragement and hope to you all. I started praying a lot, for God to heal my mind. I can't explain it, but I'm mentally healing. I can think about things without going into a panic state or extreme depression. I have a lot of family problems to deal with, but I'm trying do deal with them in ways that benefit everyone involved. I know I can't and don't do everything right, but I'm doing the best I can, and I'm accepting that.

Accepting is a key word here. I think I'm learning to "accept" and that is setting me free. I hope this will be of benefit to someone out there. Shalom

I can relate to your post as I lost my Sig. Other of 27 years, lost him a little over a year ago! He was my Best friend, my love, MY Person, MY Anchor. I am close to your age with not that much family left. I do have some friends, but can't "run" to them as I did MY Mike! We had no children so I really do feel Alone a lot of the times. It's Scary to be older & Alone --the "what if's," come too often to my Scary self. I have been & am a nervous person, and tho. I have "tools," to help me this living alone, now, without HIM brings about "new" Anxiety/Depression. Hugs & Prayers
