Hon, I ask you to vent. It does help to talk, and I am so glad to listen. Only someone going threw the same thing can understand. I know the emptyness and don't try to fill it with something else.
Linda you have been threw a lot and time will help but give it more time. I hope you are on some kind of depression medicine. I am, only I don't feel like I need it all the time. It sounds like you have done a lot of the right things to reach out and help others. If you need someone to talk too you can PM me also.
