Gosh, I wish I had something to
suggest. It’s a shame he didn’t make a friend in his group - that’s where I met my best friend of all time and we are still friends some 52 years later. She is now 91 and I am 80. My writing group gives me great satisfaction as do the nature and history groups I attend (I force myself to go as I am a solid introvert). i know it is good for me and I learn a lot). If you could find some groups to take you out of yourself, that would be so helpful.

Your husband has to decide for himself whether he wants to live or die. By that I do not mean suicide. But lots of people die before they breathe their last breath. You have to decide whether you want to stay or go.

I’ve had cancer three times and nearly died in the hospital with pneumonia. I would rather die with one of those than deal with this depression. Mine came on when I was 16. 64 years. I have a wonderful dog I love very much. But when she goes, I won’t stay around very long because the last light will be gone from my life. That is how serious this depression is for me. Your husband may be feeling the same way. Read this to him and ask him what he plans to do. He badly needs medical care. To go on as he is now, is very dangerous. It’s so easy to slip over the edge.

Please write when you feel up to it. I will do the same.
