raven1	go to a room alone lock the door to where no one can interupt you.. now kneel down on your knee and begin to talk to GOD . have a conversation with him as if he was sitting right next to you.PRAY. let it all out tell him how you feel, what you want, bare all he knows anyway.. cry, laugh, scream whatever you feel like. then when you feel you have let it all out .stand up brush yourself off and go about your task and wait for him to deliver your answers. it won't happen over night but continue to have daily conversations with GOD as much as you want to and as often as you can. believe me one morning you will wake and be a brand new person.. be patient things will change in GODS time not yours.. remember this P.U.S.H. Pray Until Something Happens. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

NadiaJ	I would look into bach flower remedies. When my dad passed away suddenly, they halped me immensley. There are different ones for each of the things you are feeling and you can get combinations to assist with all of them. Do some reading and see if it's right for you, the good part is that there are no nasty side effects and if you take one that your body doesn't need, your body just won't use it. www.bach-flowers.co.uk Was this answer helpful to you?

Misty dear	I know your need to not say depression I fought it for years. But if you have a problem with being diagnosed and going on meds you need to get some counseling. If you go on meds it may help to go away quicker. I am sorry you are feeling so sad and that you lost your family members. I know what you are going through. in the last three years I have lost both my parents. one suddenly and one due to illness. We are coming up on the anniversary for my father the first aniversary in 25 days I am still counting the days since both deaths. you really need to go some where you can work it out. and some times it is easier to do with and unbiased listener. who can ask the right questions to make you deal with the problems you are having.

Edward	well.......I've been through that, earlier in my life.There is no cure...I PRAY. For me its "Just, just "You and me Lord".I now have my own cross, and I will carry it. I had to LIVE LIFE first, every day step by step. You have to make the EFFORT, you know....no one will do this for you. And then, your prayers are answered. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Rik	Your circumstances are perfect for Classical Homeopathic treatment. I would do it in combination w/ a therapist. You will find you need less and less therapy as you spend more and more time on your chronic remedy. We have many grieving remedies in our Materia Medica. As for the comments about "the male population or worse yet, the "tanning' suggestion, I would only suggest that temporary band aids and gross generalizations will not help you at all. But seeing the forest for the trees will. I help clients everyday cope and heal after the loss of loved ones. It is possible that after 3+ yrs that you could just get over it w/ time, as one previous poster suggested. But that is not a healthy response. Find a good Homeopath and you will be amazed at how the right remedy can help you come out of your fog. Peace and prosperity, Rik Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

ascendent2	Yes this is for sure a funk. Sounds like your hubby isn't very supportive. I love on how well adjusted our male population is and how they feel the monies of house wholed should be spent. OK enough about the truly screwed up people. On to the aware. You might try some tanning for starters. Not only will you look healthy but it will pull you out of the sad, that comes with winter. Vitamins B-12&6 will boost you up when you are down. As for getting on with life after death I DON'T BELIEVE there is a herb or vitamin that will help with that but TIME. Time to heal the loss. You are in mourning and I am so sorry for your loss. My mom,sister,grandmother and dad all died with in 6 months of each other. All in a 6 months period. I am still in mourning and its going on 3yrs. I think it was the shock of one right after another didn't give me time to mourn them as individuals. You need to change your mind thought as for socializing. Grin and bare it method. Sooner or later it will turn in to joy instead of work to go out. Try not to isolate yourself, this will make you worse. You must fight the feeling of wanting to stay in bed and hope the world will go away. It won't whether your part of it or not. Keeping up with the exercise is great. I am proud of you! This is not an easy task. As for the funk its time that will help. If your not feeling better with time then maybe its time to go to the doctor and let him give you a little boost to help you out. Good Luck. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Tigger	You've had a rough time! And hubby isn't helping either: In fact, he may be part of the problem since he seems more interested in his wallet than in your health. I seem to remember hearing that Saint John's Wort is supposed to be helpful for this sort of thing. But in order to really get out of this funk (as you aptly put it), you may need to literally get out. For a while I lived with a guy who turned out to be more interested in having a live-in housekeeper than a wife. And I was miserable. When I left him and got back out on my own, things were tight monetarily- but I felt a whole lot better. Good luck, whatever you do! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Lazy G	I sympathize because I also suffer from depression and I stopped taking the prescribed medications, they were just screwing me up and making me addicted to them so I couldn't sleep without them. I'm sure they help some people but they are not for everyone. Don't confuse natural remedies with homeopathy. Homeopathic remedies are often so diluted that there is nothing left (often not even one molecule - research this and you will see.) They are basically just magic potions. Stick with normal-strength herbal products with proven benefits (like St. John's Wort). Maybe you need to worry less about your husband's complaining and put your foot down about couple's therapy. Try getting him to commit to a certain number of sessions up front. This is the most important relationship in your life and it needs to be good for both of you. When it improves, both of your lives will improve. Also, be patient with yourself. Losing people you care about is always hard and you should not feel bad about yourself just because you are having trouble dealing with it. Keep hugging those kids and count the blessings you can.

aspirit	Your wallowing in your mortality. The deaths aren't about your friends and relatives. Its about your fear of dying. Seek spiritual guidance. I'm not talking about joining a religious group. Find out who you are and why your here. That will give you the perspective you need to handle someone leaving. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

mediahoney	I would like to send my condolences. You have had a terrible time lately. It would not be the worst thing in the world to take antidepressants. It won't make your pain go away. It just helps you function during your grief. If you love your children, you will do everything in your power to give them their mother back. My heart goes out to you. Was this answer helpful to you?
