Trying to find the light

As the time goes on and we draw closer to the holidays and the sadness of having to face them without my husdand I find it harder to want to get up in the morning and see anything good or positive in my life right now. I know I have great friends and my parents have been remarkable but the biggest piece of my heart is gone.So, I ask of all of you both who know me and those who dont please just say a little prayer for me, heaven only knows I will need them to get through this. If I seem distant please forgive me If I seem sad just give me a hug.
I am trying really hard to do some positive things for my girls so they can get through. I just completed and ordered Daddy books full of memories and pictures of them and their dad through snapfish- they have great idea's for all of us creativly challenged people out there. My dad is also helping me make them a movie with pictures and music for them as well. I think I am headed in the right direction. Anyway I am going to post some pictures of Dan so enjoy...

Did you Know?

Today I went and picked up my late husbands medical records and what I found made me sick. First of all he admitted to his "doctor" i'd like to call him something else-anyway he admited to having no interest in life in August of this year. He also admited to being depressed with all the pain from his back and how much it was affecting his life. So, the doctor sends him out the door with a perscription for meds and no follow up and says good luck. Hmm.....
Did you know that every 16 minutes in the U.S someone commits suicide- 33,000.0 people a year. Unfortunatly this is a subject people don't want to talk about, but it needs to be talked about.
If you have a loved one that takes anxiety or depression pills have they read the warning labels? Do they have some type of follow-up with their doctor scheduled? If not they should...... I lost my husband and my dear friend to this and don't ever want anyone else to have to experience the pain I feel and my dear friend is feeling. This has forever changed my life and my kids and if I can help but one person than I will. Thank you
