I lost my dad back in '03. We were very close. He had been my right hand man since I got hurt back in '71 at age 19. I wasalready prone to depression and that nearly pushed me over the edge. I just did not want to live any more even though I still had my mother and two kids. Finally my doc put me on anti-depressants. I tried two or three that didn't work and finallysettled on Paxil. It has made a huge difference. I still get the dark cloud occasionally but nothing like before. Talk to your doc about it.
