Dear FRiend,
I both sympathise with and salute you. I've suffered with depression most of my life, until being diagnosed bipolar less than six months before I met Chris.
Chris lost his mother early, too, and never quite recovered. I was also his second wife, and we'd had our troubles. But I never gave up on him... I married him for life, I just never expected it would be such a short time.

I bow my head to those on this thread, gawatchman, who have enough faith to pray. I was baptised in the Episcopal Church (Church of England in my native, largely secular, country of Australia), but never had much of a religious upbringing. Sometimes I wonder though...

Thank you. I offer my sincerest condolences for your loss.

Hi:

My deepest sympathy on the death of your husband. I recall some of his posts and always got a kick out of his screenname. He had an obviously good wit and sense of humor. I am very saddened that he is no longer on earth with us and pray that he is now at peace and no longer depressed. God bless you and the rest of your family- please give special condolences to your husband's sister.
