sorry to hear about your mother. Unfortunately everything that happens in our lives has an effect whether they are good or bad. I lost my sister to cancer in August and haven't really mourned yet but I do break out crying every once in a while. My parkinson's was effected and still is I think cause I live alone so my mind goes wandering a lot. My mom at 89 still is not too bad but as my only family left I dread anything happening. I always had my sister to rely on. My doctor suggested that I might try an antidepressant. Does anybody take one that they had good results with? thanks.
