Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Scoff not at the tears of the broken man
for ridicule breeds emotional quicksand
Mourn not the spirit of the battered wife
for pity grows nothing in the fields of life
Turn no deaf ear to the anguished cries
for ignorance is not bliss if the child dies
Reach out with compassion and lend a hand
to renew their faith in the kindness of man
Give them strength to break free of the chains
of the past so wrought with heartach and pain
Nurture their courage to rise above
by sowing hope through the seeds of love

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
Great job!!
