I lost my wife of 22 years through separation about nine months ago. The pain has be unbearable. Then I lost my mother to a lung disease 6 weeks ago. Then I lost my father to heart attach two weeks ago.

The pain is unbearable for me and my teen kids. The fact that my wife left me and the kids has caused the greatest pain we've ever felt. Nothing is the same in our family. Not really healing or recovering from the loss of my wife, their mother, didn't help us get through the loss of my mother. By the time my father passed away, all of us had sunk into a deep depression. We are all seeing a therapist. My son will be going on depression medication. Thanks to the snowball effect that my wife started. I'm tired of the pain and the feeling of being empty inside. Nothing has helped me heal. I've never felt so empty and void of emotion. I'm just living an empty life each day - void of happiness, joy or even a simple smile. Every once in a while, I can't help but feel disappointed when I wake up in the morning to face another day. My wife destroyed us - mentally, emotionally and financially. I've cried out to God everyday for 9 months. I get some glimmer of hope but it only lasts for an hour or two. I think there was only 1 day I felt good, happy and laughed. I wish I could have more of that.

Does anyone know when the pain subsides? How long must I endure life this way?
