It is a brave and courageous woman to share these feelings so openly and I feel honored to be part of the community with whom you do share.<BR/><BR/>You are so very right about the baby steps. I know that matters in every part of life, but I think particularly when dealing with grief the victories may seem small to others, but oh -- they are so much more. I admire your venturing forth into groups and volunteering -- that can be so very hard. And I think you have a wonderful partner in your husband. That, too is a gift.<BR/><BR/>I've been behind reading posts again, but I've been looking through several of these before deciding on which to leave a comment. Your poem below this, on the cemetery people is filled with depth and insight and a quiet beauty and longing and I found the "Clouds" quite wonderful.<BR/><BR/>I add many caring thoughts in my heart as I think of your courageous journey through grief.

In Denmark we would call them small steps, but it is the same.<BR/>My guess is that it is far better to take baby steps than "trying" harder!Jørgen Carlsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12957750467708007331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2317757298707703398.post-87564926238962626372009-03-05T12:14:00.000-05:002009-03-05T12:14:00.000-05:00I have had problems with depression off and on sin...I have had problems with depression off and on since college. They put me on meds that made me a zombie and I finally stopped taking them. I have good days and bad days and REALLY bad days. I am glad you are starting to feel better.Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07064100581854048731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2317757298707703398.post-22487056353327823802009-03-05T11:50:00.000-05:002009-03-05T11:50:00.000-05:00I've battled depression on and off all my life -- ...I've battled depression on and off all my life -- but didn't recognize it as being such until after my 3rd child was born and had a pretty severe case of postpartum depression. I'd been doing pretty well until the last year or so and I had to go back on antidepressants -- the problem for me is that they dull my creativity -- yet without them, I sink into a deep, black hole. Hard choices, sometimes.Lynn Irwin Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11902088926070471878noreply@blogger.com
