About Me
My husband passed away on May 2, 2009. He was bipolar and took his own life. He was the love of my life and my best friend. We had been together for 12 years. I miss him terribly. I am just now starting to believe I still have a bright future. I have two grown daughters who are married with kids. (5 grandkids in all) They are such a blessing to me. I love Jesus more than anyone and am so thankful for His help through these trials.

Interests
Movies, music (many kinds), concerts (again many kinds), reading, writing, being with my family, beautiful mountains, being with friends, going to coffee houses, my cats, Tubby and Princess, and my puppy, Katie. I'm a Christian who loves Jesus Christ...but thinks sometimes religion leaves Him out. I've done it myself and hope it never happens again!

Hug
Hi, I am so sorry you lost your husband. I have had two suicides in my family---my brother-in-law and my partner's 17 year old son, so I understand what particular pain a death by suicide brings. I like what you wrote about depression though; that's one of the most cogent things I've heard about it. I also suffered from post-partum depression and it almost did me in. Well, hugs to you, and if you ever need to talk, let me know. Amy
