I think that sometimes when the body undergoes a major shock, depression can follow. I don't have all the right answers for how to lift yourselves up. I do know that distraction helps. If I do just one small thing that is active, paint a shelf, walk a block, it seems to help me. Reading can take you away from the depression too. I hope you both feel better soon. Speaking of painting, I am painting fence pieces today.... no time to be depressed for awhile. You both are in my thoughts and prayers. ginnie
