As you may remember my wife died 6 months ago today, and it affected me deeply.

Friends have asked how I am doing, and I'm telling them that I'm OK. That was BS.

At the end of August we had a memorial match at my local club and raised $2200.00 for the Hospice where she died.

That following week it was nasty for me. On the Saturday I was doing so rifle work for a friend, who also happens to be my dr, and he told me I needed counselling, I didn't respond. Returning home from the dog park on the Monday evening I had a bad episode when I admitted that I need help.

I had my 5th session Monday and went to mt first group on Tuesday. This is greatly helping. I'm not alone.

Once I admitted that I needed help, I started to tell my friends that I lied to them and to myself. I told told them that this is no secret anymore and too tell their friends.

I'm glad you've taken the steps you need. That is a loss that is world changing.

That’s great RePete. The first step in fixing a problem like that is admitting to yourself that you have a problem. You have taken that first step and now you can start healing mate. Don’t forget, we are here if you need us.

Thanks Mike and Vince.

I know that I can get help here, because you are here for me. And anyone else that needs it too!

Keep talking bud..... Yell and shout if you need to but please keep talking,I would be lost without my better half so can only imagine your pain. It will get better.keep talking,keep asking for help.stop and smell the flowers you go past,enjoy the beauty of sunsets or sun rises. Life is good,keep looking for the small positives each day and you will get past this.

thanks Elvis.
