Hi Panic mania: Welcome to this site. I lost two of my close friends just a few months ago myself, about three months apart. One death was not a surprise as she had cancer and I drove her to many of her appts. and helped out when I could. The other friend's death was a complete surprise. One friend I spoke to just about every day. We knew each other so well and I miss that "finishing my sentences for me" closeness. It takes time to grieve but I feel much better now. I'm hoping you will be able to start feeling better soon with this program. I try and think of all the beautiful moments we shared and the positive influences they had on me, and in that way I feel that they live on. Life sure does through us some curves. It sounds like you've been through a lot lately. Be gentle with yourself, take good care of yourself as you would a friend. It's normal to go through some depression after death of a loved one and add on top of that other stresses. And it's difficult when we think no one understands or cares. Have a look at the sister depression site. If it's anything like this site, they sure do care. Good luck.
