Bless your heart =- I can actually feel your grief and your pain. It's awful to feel abandoned. When my husband died, every single friend we had dumped me -- why?? I have no idea!! I called them and all I got were machines! I left messages, and no one returned my calls.

That was 11 years ago and I haven't heard from one of them since. Maybe they don't want a single woman in their "couples only" group, huh?

Abandonment is horrible, and grief is even worse. Plus being depressed on top of that -- you must feel pretty rotten. But don't despair because we're with you 100%. There is ALWAYS someone here that knows what you're going thru and how you feel. There's always someone who needs help too, that YOU might be able to assist. Helping others makes US feel better -- and it might make YOU feell better too. Once we get out of ourselves and into someone else, it makes the depression much easier to bear. In fact, sometimes it even disappears for a time.

You're a very important person -- and you can be of extreme importance here as you know how it feels. When a newcomer comes here, you could really help them big time!!! Since it's so fresh to you, you especially would be the best one to be of help! I hope you'll think about it and see what you can do!!! God bless you and please take care of yourself! I hope we hear more from you! ((((hugs)))) Lee
