Interesting. I am sleeping much better and my energy is coming back at a great pace (not as fast as I wanted). I felt like I had lost 7 years of my life but I quit looking back as it would bring me to a negative place - Hang in there! Life is good even if the world around us is going nuts!

With life's ups and downs we can lose sight of all the good things sometimes . While some of us cope, others do not find it so easy and some of us teeter between darkness and light frequently. At least the light shines brighter so we can find our way if encouraged. Bless you.

I admire you so much! I also have depression, have had it for years. It is difficult to find clarity, motivation and perspective during these times. It can be very scary and overwhelming. I am going through such a time right now, as I have separated from my spouse, because the stress of the marriage was causing exhaustion and physical illness. But now the grief and fear of the future are here. Overwhelmed too. Thank you, Jennifer for sharing the depth of your experience.To me, this sharing is always meaningful, always touching, always helpful. It is truly validating for people like me that we are not alone in our suffering. I wish you joy, inner peace, hope and healing. May you be extra-blessed!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14486915989226739222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-2701501748120839462022-02-26T21:52:25.370+10:002022-02-26T21:52:25.370+10:00

You see,...This message from you spoke to my heart. You see, I lost my mother just over one month ago, she was 92 years old, with a number of health issues, so it was not totally unexpected. Even so, I have been having a hard time with regrets. Why didn't I ask her for more stories about her life, especially the childhood? Why didn't we do...talk about...take care of..? I know that this train of thought won't change what is done and gone, but I have been beating myself up over all of these regrets. Your words are helping me to see that this will only ruin the time I have now, the joy I need to see in my life. Thank you for sharing and I sincerely hope that you continue to dwell in the joy and love of your family and home.

God uses moments like these to remind us of whose we are. He has marked us as His, and every one of us now and again must be reminded of this. You're a very strong person to see past such darkness, to remind yourself of your dependence on him - the right kind of dependence. May God strengthen and bless you abundantly.

I have an adult niece who has been in a very dark place for over a year now and would have taken her own life had God's angels not intervened. Your post helps me understand a little bit about what she may be struggling with. I keep her in my prayers and do see some small signs of hope. She is the most amazing person and I pray one day she will be able to see that for herself.<br />Thank you for your very valuable insight and willingness to share. It is very meaningful to me.<br />Wishing you all the best,<br />KimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-1588186341866439822022-02-26T02:42:29.160+10:002022-02-26T02:42:29.160+10:00Hi Jennifer,
