How incredibly sad when one gives up all hope.

Michael M. Bates: My Side of the Swamp

You are so right. I understand her being depressed about the death of her husband, but life MUST go on. We can't kill ourselves when our spouse dies or leaves us. I know that is easy for me to say. But I have watched as my mother, father-in-law, uncles, aunts, friends have lost spouses.... and although it was a LONG hard road for them to walk alone, with a heavy burden on their shoulders, they have come through. They still get teary on special occasions when talking about their deceased spouse... but they move forward. I know a lot of elderly do suffer from depression, though, and loss of spouse is one of the main reasons for it. This is just so sad. But I guess she was getting help for it. So sad.

True, but what a fortunate man to have had a woman who loved him so much. Life without love is so useless.
