I seem to have fallen into a hole of depression.

Sometimes it's better to get angry. Or Cry.
My post sounds a bit flippant and I didn't mean to be. Anger don't last though. It's one of the steps that people go through in bereavement. First it's shock, total disbelief, withdrawal. Anger can come next 'Why did they leave me alone?' Some people miss a step or that's what the psychologist told me both times I went to him. The main thing, I think, is to try and live your life in a way that would make the departed person or pet, proud. They don't want you to be sad. They want you to get on with your life. You got all those memories, cherish them. My personal belief is that one day I will be reunited with my lost loved ones.

a good site is: Australian Centre for Grief and Bereavement - About Grief

I remember my psychologist telling me to make a 'memorial' area in your house with photos and everything that reminds you of them and then you can talk to them everyday.

Staro, luv, I wish I had a magic wand that I could wave in front of you to take away your pain and grief. But, alas, I don't. All I have are words and words aren't really enough. As everyone has pretty much said- time will move you away from the grief, but it will take time to do it. Each of us handles our grief differently and there is no quick way to 'get over' the pain. We are here for you when you need us. You have been greatly missed, but I understand why you've been absent. I wish I could physically give you a hug instead of the cyber one, but know that I am giving you the damn biggest one I can give! ((((Staro and Becky))))
