I preceed this by saying I have been depressed with no success with meds sinse January and have just started zoloft yesterday eve. I have been rather anxious....about many things.

My beloved brother in law just died of ALS and the funeral was Saturday. I am anxious and at a loss. Is there some pattern to getting better and beyond this loss. Suggestions. I have known him 35 years....and feel rather empty right now and sad and trying to deal with cumulative depression and now I suppose grief.
