    • Close Bereavement

      I want someone to help me now>It will be 4 years that I lost my beloved brother Frank and I am in so much pain.I have lost everyone late in late and my late granddaddy always told me that you cannot make friends after 50.He was so right.I feel so alone and today I cried.I was going to a clinic but because of budget cuts..me and others were let go.Is there anyone out there that knows what it is like to be so depressed? Or do people still cling to the words of dr.Phil? I miss Frank.
