Thank you for replying. Well i was depressed many years before my Mother died but you are right in that her death has made things worse. I get more frequent bouts of depression now than i did. I am seeing a counsellor at the moment. Just started it. I will discuss this whole sorry saga with her when i next see her. As to getting over my Mother's death. Well you never really get over it, you just learn to live with it. I have largely done that, though it has taken years. But somedays i still cry.
