One minute you are fine and the next you are not. And grieving cycles - for about 7 yrs time before it finally settles down completely.

You will not get over this loss, but you will learn to live with it. And eventually, death will not have the sting that it still has for you. I couldn't believe it myself when I was told those years ago, but it has come to fruition for all of our family.

Heather, you may need a stronger dosage - I know I had mine upped once and it made a huge difference. Since there is such a fine line between grieving and depression, treat your depression first and you will likely find that you are grieving in a very healthy way.

Sending you many big hugs sweetie - wish I was there to give you a real one.

Jo
