I have made it all the way to August, having been in dark mental places. After my wife died 13th February, all joy in life disappeared in an instant, replaced with deep despair and indescribable sadness. Nothing and no one could help me, every day was a struggle, even now I’m just about okay and back to work. After many months of bereavement counselling and high dose age anti depressants, I’m still feeling lost.
