Great question...I have sadness about the death of my father, but it is relatively dormant. He and I were very close ~ sadly, he died nearly 18 years ago. The sad feelings tend to creep back, briefly, and usually around father's day...but time has healed that wound for me. However, that is not to say that I am not sad about other things ~ and this sadness, mainly about my career and a decision to leave a job that I thoroughly enjoyed has been causing a lingering sadness that has nicely morphed into a depressive episode...such is life with this illness...
