Hey Shelley,
I don’t know if comments to your blog get emailed to you, for when you’re not logging in, but I thought I’d try sending you one anyway. I hadn’t looked at your blog for a long time and just happened to go this evening. I am so sorry to hear that you’re fighting depression again. I, too, know the discouragement when depression returns, the feeling that it won’t end.

I want you to know that my prayers are with you during this time. I don’t know where things are at right now for you, but I do know that there’s light ahead. And I know that that light is there for you. Hang in there,

and give your sweet girl a hug – sometimes that the most healing thing we can do.

I think you are doing as well as expected darlin’. I guess I never commented before but that’s what I thought. We’ve got to get our blog mojo going again. I miss reading between the worlds. xo

Hello Shelly,

I found you as I was searching to find something I can read to help me through today. It’s my brother’s 11th year anniversary since he left us. It was an accident that took him from us but the thing about grief, it never goes away. It’s been 11 years and it hurts just as much but you find ways to deal with it. He was my big brother, friend and father figure. He raised me to be who I am today and I wish every day he was here to see it. I still look for him and see part of him every where I go but now I smile. He was the wind beneath my wings and still is. The memories keep me sane and in time brought smile to my face.

I think it’s great that you can reach out for help through this difficult time in your life. I personally think feeling insane sometimes is normal. Why not, you lost an important part of you.

You know your therapist is good when they convince you that you are in fact sane. Shows they really care about you, not their job security.

Love you!

You and your family remain in my thoughts as you try to navigate the road of grief. Try to be easy on yourself, you have been through a lot. You remain in my prayers.

Hey Shelley, I got that last comment at my blog, too — it’s a spammer, see the get rich link at the bottom.

I like the frog illustration. Sometimes i don’t know how “bad” it’s been until I start to get better and I think to myself, “so that is where I was…”

Beautiful and so very very true. It was actually in therapy when I learned that I wasn’t crazy. You did experience so many changes and heartbreaks along with a crushing blow…I am glad you are being gentle with yourself and that you are coming up from the deep

Anthony and I just read your post and are thinking of you today. I am a BIG believer in nurse practitioners — they are good people.
