With Thanksgiving over and my wedding anniversary approaching (Friday November 30th) I am a total mess. We would have been married 38 years! I decided to pack up and move. To where? I wasn't sure! All I knew was I had to get away. Try to out run this awful pain and depression that is consuming me. Tears and more tears every day. No one understands. I thought I had myself under control but was blindsides and haven't been able to recover since. I did however make an appointment with a physician who took care of my husband and agreed to be my primary physician. (Remember we moved to Florida in March and my husband became ill). Well I finally made the appointment for Friday. So to get back to me decision of moving I was trying to decide where to go when it hit me like a ton of bricks. Moving is not the answer. I am trying to find happiness and will never find it until I find peace and happiness within my own heart. I decided to apply myself to concentrating on my life now, here and now! I sure hope that is what I am suppose to be doing cause I can't tumble and fall again. I am at the lowest of low right now and today I am trying to climb out of this big hole I am in. I know I have to push forward and begin living again. I know this and it is harder than I had ever thought it to be. So from this moment I hope to be in a better state of mind and plunge forward. Who knows what lies ahead of me but I think I need to do something. I just can not continue heading down this path for my sake and my two daughters. Maybe tomorrow I will still be saying this or perhaps doing something about this. God give me strength!

It is true - you can't out run this. You can move anywhere in the world and it won't ease the pain. Your happiness is inside you. From what I understand it takes time to find.

For myself I feel like I don't have the time to look. Every time I take a step forward I get pushed back. But we have to keep trying right?

I go to church almost everyday and ask God for the same - strength!

May you find your happiness and begin living again.

Hi Pamela, try, really try just to handle one day at a time...get up, shower/bath, make tea etc, go through the motions, pray, pray, pray, speak to the Lord, cry for help, don't stress yourself extra by thinking you *must* move forward etc. Praying for you, and sending love, xxx
